Have you ever wanted to travel
the world but feel you need
to go to uni first? By studying
education at Monash you can
do both.
Take advantage of our Professional Experience
program to gain a truly global perspective. You might
end up teaching cricket to children in the Cook
Islands, or maths to kids in South Africa, or teaching
English in Italy or China. The opportunities for you
to learn to teach across the world are diverse.
You could also choose to stay closer to home and
do a placement in a country town or in a remote
Indigenous community such as Groote Eylandt in
the Northern Territory.
Education happens beyond the classroom too, so
placements are not limited to classroom settings.
You might participate in educational programs with
groups such as Scouts Australia, the National Gallery
of Victoria, museums or the Melbourne Football
Club’s “Read Like a Demon” program. All placements
are arranged on your behalf by our Professional
Experience Office.
Even when you’ve completed your studies, the travel
opportunities don’t end there. Our graduates know
how to make a difference. They become industry
leaders in the region and globally where they create
impact within the education sector and beyond.

Double degree
courses
The honours component of your degree is embedded into a
four-year course* so that — in an Australian first — you will
graduate with an honours qualification whatever your chosen
educational setting. This is true for all single degree and
double degree courses offered by the Faculty of Education.
The Primary education and Secondary education specialisations can
be taken as part of a double degree course. Secondary education
is always studied as a double degree, with the partner degree
providing the specialist discipline knowledge for the areas in which
you will qualify to teach.
So when you graduate from Monash after four years you are ready to take a leading role in
your chosen educational setting and teaching field. It also means that if you choose to study
for a fifth year — either immediately or at sometime in the future — you will be able to qualify
with an advanced master’s degree, putting you ahead of the game.
A double degree course is a great option if you are interested
in a teaching career, but also want to broaden your knowledge
and expertise in another discipline. You will increase your
career choice, and deepen your understanding of the areas
you intend to teach.

Caillin Rolfe
Secondary education/science - double degree course
For Caillin, Education at Monash provides nothing less than the opportunity to
‘have a profound and life-altering affect’ on other people. Having been himself
inspired by his year-nine homeroom, maths and science teacher, he knows a
Monash double degree in Secondary education and science will maximise his
talents and allow him to help growing minds maximise theirs.
Caillin’s year-nine teacher ‘changed his life for the better.’ From that time on, his course
was clear to him: ‘Doing a double degree in Education and Science has been my ultimate
goal since I was 15, and now that I’m here I could not appreciate it more.’ He’s also canny
enough to realise he’s effectively ‘fast-tracking’ his career: by the time he’s 22, he’ll have two
bachelor’s degrees, and the world of teaching at his feet.
But while he’s long known where he is going, the journey has not lost the capacity for surprise.
Teaching placements in primary schools opened Caillin’s eyes to the full miracle of human
development: ‘For really the first time in my life… I learnt to appreciate the immense amount
of effort that my parents and early teachers placed into me.’

Experiences beyond
the classroom
Do your placement
overseas
Monash University prides itself on developing graduates who are ready
and well-equipped to enter the world of teaching. We place a high priority
on providing students with opportunities to develop inter-cultural learning
capacities and to gain international experiences in a diverse range of
contexts. We understand that professional experience should include
cultural competencies as well as teaching skills for diverse learners in
an increasingly interconnected global education community.
The International Professional Experience (IPE) program also endeavours to make a contribution to the host
schools and communities in which our students work. Students have the opportunity to complete international
professional experience in the following locations – China, Cook Islands, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy,
Malaysia, South Africa and United Arab Emirates.
Ryan Lucas
Education (Honours)
Education graduate Ryan Lucas credits a
fourth year overseas teacher placement
in the Cook Islands for giving him the
communication skills needed for working
with Indigenous youth in Central Australia.
Ryan spent 2013 in the Solomon Islands with the
Australian Volunteers for International Development
program. He then relocated to Alice Springs where
he worked, firstly, as youth development team
leader before moving into a new role as coordinator
for sports development and youth diversion at the
MacDonnell Regional Council, the local government
body responsible for 13 remote Indigenous
communities.

Primary education
Completing professional experience at a local
Italian Primary school in Prato was an unforgettable
experience for Emma. Not only did she immerse herself
fully in Italian culture, she gained invaluable professional
perspective and expertise: ‘This experience helped
me realise who I wanted to be as a teacher and
what I valued as a teacher.’
Emma’s ambition – to make a difference to the education and
life chances of future generations – is about to come to fruition.
Emma has now graduated with a Primary education degree,
and is fully prepared to begin work as a prep teacher.
Aside from the inspiration her time at Prato provided, she’s
found professional placements to be ‘personally and
professionally… the most significant part of my learning.’
MONASH EDUCATION
MONASH EDUCATION
“I think my previous experience in the Cook and
Solomon Islands was good preparation for Alice
Springs. The fourth year placement in the Cook
Islands gave me teaching experience in a completely
unique and removed setting from anything I’d done
before and that set me up to do this sort of remote
work. The placement opportunities overseas were a
great thing I took out of my time at Monash,” he said.

Mariah Martin
Primary and secondary special education
One of the best things Monash has given Mariah is the
chance to give to others. She always knew she wanted to
‘become an influential role model that can make an impact
in children’s lives.’ Now, her studies in Special Education,
and her work as a Student Ambassador, have made that
aspiration a reality.
Zoey Dong
Secondary education/visual arts double degree course
Zoey Dong loves being a Faculty of Education Student
Ambassador. She became an ambassador in her second
year at Monash University and says it has been a rich
and rewarding experience.
Being a Student Ambassador has been perhaps the most
fulfilling experience of Mariah’s time at Monash. Not only has it
allowed her to ‘give back to the Monash community’ – helping
current and future students adjust to university and make
the most of their experience – but she’s found it a massive
boost to ‘skills such as leadership, event planning, effective
teamwork, social mannerisms and planning and organisation.’
While Mariah is still choosing between a career in primary,
secondary and special education, she knows she’ll be able
to call on these skills throughout her future as an educator.
“I’ve had so much fun and met so many lovely friends.”
“Coming to Monash as an international student, I found it
difficult socially because I didn’t have any connections from
high school so becoming an ambassador opened up a
whole new network of social connections for me,” she said.
14
“Some of the many highlights I’ve had include organising the
Amazing Race during O week, going to the MCG to watch
Australian Rules Football, helping with the Careers Expo and
the 50th Gala Dinner, and getting experience in design and
marketing through the group’s many events.”
The Student Ambassador Program offers a host of opportunities
to gain important leadership, teamwork, public speaking and
event management skills. Student Ambassadors have the
chance to represent and promote the Faculty of Education.
MONASH EDUCATION

“I’ve really enjoyed getting to know other first-year students
and, in particular, helping new international students adjust to

Develop your
leadership skills
Monash graduates become leaders in teaching practice,
public debate, policy development, and community
action around the world.
That’s why we embed leadership into your course from the beginning. As well as
helping you to become an expert in your field, every Monash student learns to lead.
You will study units specifically designed to enhance your leadership skills
and encourage innovative thinking, making you a highly sought-after graduate.
“I’ve always been passionate
about education and teaching
and can’t think of any better
field to work in. It helps
people realise their potential
and pursue many more
opportunities.”
With an almost perfect ATAR
score of 99.85 Emmeline Be knew
she could choose any course she wanted.
In her fourth and final year, Emmeline
completed her practicum in two different
schools in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Liam Bassett
Jessica Kirkham
Primary and secondary education
Early years and primary education
Liam now knows that ‘it’s the students who engage
in activities and clubs that are most focused and
enjoy university a lot more.’ It’s not just the quality of
education that has made his time at Monash a truly
life-changing experience; it’s the opportunities beyond
the classroom that have really helped him shine.
Monash gave Jess the opportunities to realise her
childhood ambition – to be a kindergarten teacher.
What advice does she have for students choosing
Education? ‘The opportunities are endless. Take the
opportunities presented to you. This can be the
beginning of an amazing learning journey.’
Liam has really got his teeth into his Education course.
Taking full advantage of the small teaching groups and
first-class resources at the Monash Berwick campus –
and of course the ‘immense amount of help’ his tutors and
lecturers have always been happy to provide – he’s worked
hard to ‘focus and refine’ his teaching skills.
For Jess, the best of those opportunities was to study
abroad. ‘During my third year, I was offered a grant through
the Australian Government and European Union to study for
four months in Denmark as part of the Global Leadership
and Citizenship in Early Childhood Education Mobility Project.
I studied at the University of Northern Denmark in Hjørring
and had a five-week placement at a Danish kindergarten.’
Now, as Vice-President of the Monash Union of Berwick
Students (MUBS), and with the confidence-building rigour
of professional placements under his belt, he has the
confidence and expertise to make his mark as an educator
of future generations.
Her experience in Denmark took her understanding of
childhood development to a new level, and gave her the
confidence she needs to excel in her current job as a
Kindergarten Teacher and Supervisor with the City of Casey.
Jess has always wanted to make a ‘positive difference to
children’s learning and development;’ now, that’s what she
does every day.
Upon graduation, Emmeline landed a
job at Balwyn High teaching accounting
and commerce.
“I’ve just started my first teaching job,
but my dream job would be setting
up education programs for an NGO
somewhere overseas, perhaps in Papua
New Guinea, Vietnam or Tanzania.”

“It has been such a privilege to have

cherish the opportunity of getting to
know the incredible students and people
of South Africa, and teaching in a tiny
portable classroom with fifty students
scattered around the room with absolutely
no resources. Being immersed into an
entirely different cultural context has
reinforced the fact that education is key
to empowering individuals.”

Bachelor of Education (Honours) – Specialisations
Early years education
This specialisation reflects contemporary thinking on
young children’s development and learning, and will
prepare you to take a leading role in the innovative
teaching of infants and children from birth to five years
of age in childcare, kindergartens and preschools.
Designed for early childhood professionals who wish
to further develop their professional expertise, upgrade
their qualifications and advance their career, it builds
on a Diploma of Children’s Services (or equivalent) to
provide you with a four-year qualification to teach in
early childhood settings. Students with recognised prior
experience and qualifications enter the course with a
minimum of one year of advanced standing. A flexible
course delivery option allows busy professionals to
continue working whilst completing the course.
You will learn to develop the creative, physical,
personal, intellectual and social capabilities of young
children. Education studies, including contemporary
child development, psychology and the social and
cultural context of education, provide the foundations
for understanding holistic and play-based learning and
effective early years teaching practice. You will acquire
a rich repertoire of strategies to promote children’s early
literacy and numeracy – and their concepts of health,
science, the arts, technology and environment – and
support their transition to school.
Up to 80 days of professional experience will provide
hands-on teaching practice in early childhood centres,
preschools and kindergartens. You will learn to work in
partnership with families and communities to support
children’s learning and to advocate for children, their
families and the early childhood profession.

on what you have studied previously and your results.
Diploma of Higher Education
(DoHE)
Monash Access Program
(MAP)
Diploma of Tertiary Studies

Science at Monash or are returning
to study after working or travelling.
MAP is an enabling course for
mature age students.*
If you are
motivated to learn and want to study
at university,
but don’t meet the
standard admission requirements,
MAP
may provide you with the skills
and knowledge to gain access.
It prepares you for successful
academic study at university level.
It will give you a solid foundation to
progress into a range of bachelor’s
degrees at Monash University.
DoTS can help you get into Monash if:

studying your chosen field from
day one of university, and it won’t
add any time to your course.
On completion of the DoTS program
you can transfer into the second year
of a range of Education (Honours)
specialisations.
*Applicants need to be aged 21 years or older as at 1 January
of the year they enrol.
