What you will learn

The Bachelor of Education (Conversion) recognises your experience as a teacher and offers an exciting pathway from your current qualification to a full Bachelor of Education degree. You will experience face-to-face classes and external learning to enhance your future employment prospects. A conversion course can also make further postgraduate study accessible at The University of Notre Dame Australia.

We acknowledge working teachers are time-poor, so we have tailored the course to suit your busy lifestyle. External courses will give you flexibility, and face-to-face classroom sessions will keep you connected. The degree consists of eight courses (see the current list on the School of Education homepage). One course in Theology or Ethics (at a 4000 level) is compulsory.

If you choose to work in the Catholic school system, there is an expectation that you study Theology and Religious Education. However, you may combine courses to complete a four-course specialisation in Religious Education or Special Needs.

Career pathways

Teachers graduating with a Bachelor of Education (Conversion) will be able to work in Australia as primary or secondary school teachers in Catholic, Independent and Government schools in a specialised area of their choice.
