Bachelor of Education (Honours)
Monash University
Course Overview
Monash Faculty of Education is ranked #20 globally for Education in QS World Rankings by Subject — Australia's #2 education school after Melbourne. The 4-year Bachelor of Education (Honours) is AITSL accredited and qualifies graduates for full teacher registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) and, by reciprocity, every Australian state and the NZ Teaching Council. Specialisations include Early Years, Primary, Primary-Secondary (with a teaching method), and Inclusive Education.
Sri Lankan applicants choose Monash B.Ed. for two reasons: it's a direct undergraduate teaching pathway (no need for a separate Master of Teaching), and Primary School Teacher (ANZSCO 241213) is on Australia's MLTSSL with a direct 189/190 PR route. Over 1,800 hours of supervised school placement across the 4 years build the practical case for AITSL registration and the 485 visa. Honours research projects in the final year position high-achievers for direct PhD entry.
