The University of Tasmania is one of few universities in Australia that offer a double degree combining a Bachelor of Arts with a Master of Teaching.

This program will accelerate your career allowing you to graduate in just 4-years. In the Bachelor of Arts, you’ll take on the world’s cultural, environmental and humanitarian challenges from multiple perspectives and gain the confidence to make a positive difference. Your studies will deepen your knowledge, which you will build on in your chosen teaching specialisation.

The Master of Teaching is accredited through the Tasmanian Teachers Registration Board and is recognised in all Australian states and territories. You’ll be able to choose whether to teach at a primary or secondary school level. The specialisations you teach will depend on the Major you complete in the Bachelor of Arts.

After graduating, you will qualify for two degrees through a carefully managed study plan.

The Associate Degree in Applied Science is an industry-focused program designed for people interested in working in fields that require specialised skills and knowledge of applied science principles and processes, including those who may never have considered a career in science.

In addition to core skills and knowledge, this course allows you to specialise your learning with a focus on Fermentation and Separation.

Tasmania is famous for high quality food and beverage products, and if you love the idea of practical science and innovative industries the Fermentation and Separation stream is for you.

While our island state provides a wealth of the finest ingredients, the real magic behind the success of these industries are people with applied science knowledge and skills creating the artisan outputs that consumers know and love.

The Graduate Certificate of Early Childhood Education will prepare you to lead early learning experiences for children from birth to 8 years of age. Your studies will embed indigenous worldviews, education for sustainability, and health and wellbeing.

You’ll learn to recognise how relationships with self, others, cultures, and places are critical to teaching and learning with children. Graduates are inclusive education practitioners with specific capacities to lead with play-based pedagogies, and to work with complex communities.
