Be the teacher they remember

In a fast-changing world, tomorrow belongs to people who are ready for anything. We’ll train you to be a critical thinker, not a narrow specialist.

A Pathway to Teaching degree in Arts, Business, Health Science (HPE), Graphic Design or Science gives you access to a huge range of subject majors. Best of all, you can go on to do a Master of Teaching and become an inspiring early childhood, primary or secondary school teacher.

You can also study Western’s Bachelor of Education (Primary, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education), a degree specifically designed to prepare you to make a difference in the lives of Indigenous students and their communities.

If you’re already a teacher, our postgraduate programs can extend your degrees across STEM, Leadership & Management, Inclusive Education, Language Teaching & Bilingualism, Curriculum, Social Ecology, Science, and Mathematics. Take your career to the next level.

Discover why our Teaching and Education programs are world class and how our global research is changing the future of teaching and education in schools today.
