Hey folks, I got a kind of complicated question about applying for Uni through UAC. My situation is that I graduated in 2007 and have undergone Tertiary education in the form of a private college (Macleay) and have done the Diploma in Journalism (2008) and am currently doing the accelerated...

UNSW's Arts/Education course? People have different reasons (mainly that it's no up to scratch - whatever that means) but what's really so bad about it? I'm asking because I'm tossing up between UNSW and Macquarie (a course I've heard good things about). Anyone with first hand experience and...

Yeah concurrent just means you study them at the same time apparently. The thing with your interests is that you could do an English major and a Drama minor in this course. Not sure about Art.

Yeah, only $1500 and it doesn't sound adequate enough If it were $1500 a month then we'd be in business lol. Yeah, I'm thinking that a scholarship would have to be the definite last resort.

So in other words, be 100% sure that this is what you wanna do...

I know there's been talk of this in the past but I couldn't find the thread that people were talking about it in. I've been posting a lot in here lately so I apologise if you're getting sick of my questions lol but I just wanna know from people who have first hand experience or people who know...

I've heard that from a few people now, that DipEd's were being replaced with Masters of Teaching or something... Trying to find out what the differences are and if a BEd is any better. Maybe they'll change it before next year. I contacted the Education people directly and explained my...

Awk, well that's just what they call it, studying concurrently rather than subsequently.

They sound good to me. I'm looking at the BA/DipEd course they have for next year. Good way to keep me interested in teaching rather than having to go through the BA first and then finally learn the teaching stuff.

Haha well thanks for both those pieces of advice. I read in another thread that Master of Teaching was the replacement for a Diploma in Education... oh well, I also read that it's not necessarily the qualification that's more appealing to employers but rather if your area of expertise is in demand.

Cool thanks for that... I did notice a few 'Master of Teaching' courses that were attatched to the BA's. Wasn't sure what they were. This one at Macquarie that I was talking about is combined and also concurrent (so you do them both at the same time rather than one first then the next afterwards).

Is it better, worse or the same as a BA/BEd.? I'm talking, in terms of gaining employment and pay rates. I'm looking at Macquarie's BA DipEd because I've heard things about the Uni and am shying away from UNSW's BA/BEd. course because I've heard some bad things about it. Both are the same...

Ah yep, I get ya. Should probably talk to someone from the Uni to understand it better.

Thanks heaps for those PDF's they should help a lot.

Okay, so basically study for 4-5 years if you wanna make decent money? :P Just thought I'd bring it up because I've been looking at Macquarie's courses. Their Bachelor of Education only goes for 1 and a half years and the Graduate Diploma only a year.

Does pay actually depend on how many years you studied? That's odd. What if you only do 2-3?

Hey everyone. I'm currently exploring my options for next year. My situation is that I completed my HSC in 2007 and decided to go to Macleay College to do a Diploma in Journalism. I then decided to take the opportunity to do the Bachelor of Arts is came paired with from Southern Cross University...

If I already had a Bachelor of Arts degree from a previous course would it be wiser to go for a Bachelor of Education (or Teaching) rather than a Diploma? I certainly want what's look upon best by employers and not just the quickest way.

What's the difference between the two? Is one better than the other? I noticed the Bachelor of Education usually comes paired with a Bachelor of Arts (something I'll already have by this time next year). Edit: Also, how does a Diploma or the likes of that in Education measure up to the...
