203 Graduate Diploma of Education (Primary)
GENERAL AIM OF THE COURSE The Graduate Diploma of Education (Primary) course provides appropriate teacher preparation for generalist primary teaching. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Applicants who have successfully completed a Bachelor degree (UG1) or an equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution may apply for a place in the Graduate Diploma of Education (Primary). Application may be made prior to the completion of the first degree course. COURSE LOCATION AND MODE OF STUDY The one year course is available by full-time or part-time study on the Mount Lawley, Joondalup and Bunbury campuses. Periods of Professional Practice require a full-time commitment. PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE The Graduate Diploma of Education (Primary) course requires students to spend a substantial period of time teaching in schools as part of a coordinated program of practice teaching. Because of its responsibility for the education, safety and well-being of children in schools, the teaching profession demands the highest professional standards and personal ethics of practitioners. For additional information on Professional Practice refer to the Professional Practice Information and Rules at the end of the section on the Graduate Diploma of Education.
