If students did not meet the entry requirements to commence a teaching degree, they can commence studies with the Bachelor of Education Studies. At the completion of first year, if they have maintained a good academic standard throughout the year, they may be eligible to apply for a transfer into the second year of a FedUni teaching degree. This means that they may still qualify as a VIT registered teacher within 4 years of study.

Alternatively, students may complete the three years of this degree, and continue into a Master of Teaching in either Secondary, Primary or Early Childhood teaching and qualify as a VIT registered teacher within 4.5 years.

Finally, this is a 3 year generalist degree that can prepare students for work in Learning and Education and allow them to discover more about the education system. This degree will qualify them to work in many roles including as an Education Officer developing programs for a wide range of industries or as an Education Support Officer (Integration Aide) working to support students within a school setting. Or they may be interested in working in education policy as a project officer. The opportunities for graduates are very broad.
