Pathway to Education

The direct entry requirements for education degrees are sometimes just out of reach of students aspiring to become teachers. If you did not meet the direct entry requirements (3 Band 5s, one of which being English) in the HSC, you may be eligible for entry into the Pathway course.

The direct entry requirements for education degrees are sometimes just out of reach of students aspiring to become teachers. If you did not meet the direct entry requirements (3 Band 5s, one of which being English) in the HSC, you may be eligible for entry into the Pathway course. ACPE has two teaching degrees, the Bachelor of Dance Education and the Bachelor of Education (PHE). Each of these degrees has a NESA approved pathway degree.

What is a pathway degree?
The pathway degree has exactly the same units in the first year as the teaching degree, so you will not lose any credit for units completed. If you pass all your units with a credit average in the first year or are able to pass the ACER LANTITE test, you may be eligible to transfer to the Education degree. The pathway degree does not add additional time to your total course duration.

Eligibility and requirements
The education pathway is open to current year 12 and non-current school applicants. You will be assessed on your performance in relevant Year 11 and/or Year 12 subjects.
