This double degree is for students who want to become secondary-school teachers. It combines studies in theoretical and practical aspects of education with your approved teaching discipline selected from English, ancient and/or modern history, languages, Indigenous studies, drama, geography, music studies, or sociology and anthropology.

After completing this degree, you will have a professional teaching qualification as well as an Arts degree from the UNSW Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. In your final two years, you will develop skills in classroom competence and spend up to 80 days in supervised teaching in at least two secondary-school contexts.

Applications for undergraduate study from domestic students (Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents, Australian permanent humanitarian visa holders and New Zealand citizens) are processed by the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).

Visit the ‘Apply’ section of the UAC website and you can nominate up to five degrees in order of preference, with the first being your most desired degree and university.

On-time applications for admission usually close at the end of September each year for Term 1 admission. Late applications can be submitted, but a late fee will apply. For study starting in Term 1, the majority of offers are made in December and January.

Visit the UAC website for key dates for admission outside of Term 1.
