Bachelor of Education
Why study the Bachelor of Education at MIC?
Do you want to become a primary school teacher? If so, the four-year Bachelor of Education programme seeks to equip participants with the competence to teach at all levels of the primary school.
The programme enables students to examine their role as a learner,
a teacher, a researcher and a leader. Blending subject-specific pedagogies with modules which interrogate contemporary issues in education, in a context of campus- based and school-based learning opportunities, students are enabled to achieve deep insights into teaching and learning from the initial year of the programme.
Over the course of the programme, students take 55 modules. 47 modules are pre-defined and are taken by all students. These 47 modules form the Core Programme. As the programme is designed
to facilitate student choice
in pursuing areas of personal interest, each student selects the remaining eight modules from
a broad suite of modules, three
of which must be Liberal Arts modules. The final five modules chosen by the student determine whether the student graduates
with a Multidisciplinary Bachelor
of Education or a Bachelor of Education with a Specialism. These two pathways are of equal merit and are described under specialisms.
