By combining your interests in the creative arts with education you will not only be able to pursue your practice as a creative artist but also be ready to teach the next generation in secondary schools and other education environments.
The new Bachelor of Creative Arts degree helps you to curate your own career, with its built-in flexibility providing you with multiple opportunities to extend and expand your creative practice. You will prepare for teaching with a specialist understanding for secondary school learners in two teaching and learning discipline areas.

From 2026 (subject to university approval) you will build your creative practice in one of creative arts majors as your first teaching area. Choose from:

creative writing * drama film and screen music visual arts.

You will then choose a second teaching area from:

dance drama English film and screen geography history mathematics music visual arts.

* If you choose the creative writing major, English becomes your first teaching area, therefore you will be required to choose a different subject for your second teaching area.
Bachelor of Education (Secondary)

As a secondary teacher, you can contribute to the development and further the growth of young adults, and share your passion for your chosen teaching areas. 

You will be a qualified specialist in your teaching areas and learn to effectively teach subjects in the Australian Curriculum and other frameworks. You’ll be encouraged to create future-focused learning opportunities for your students and be equipped with positive strategies to manage your classrooms.

Bachelor of Creative Arts

You will complete common units in your creative arts degree, providing you with key creative and critical skills. You will develop your professional awareness preparing you for a range of creative roles and career pathways.  

You will develop your craft by choosing one of the following majors:

  • creative writing
  • drama
  • film and screen
  • music
  • visual arts.


You will also have the option to take either an advanced arts elective to expand your skills, or complete a work integrated learning unit that compliments your studies.
