Education and Teaching

Transform your future

Southern Cross graduate teachers have a lasting and profound impact on the lives of their students, from children in the early childhood years right through to students in secondary schools.

Our degrees engage with contemporary and transformative thinking in education, nurtured by a dynamic community of researchers and thought leaders at the University who contribute to Australian and international curriculum and policy. Whether it’s a degree to prepare you as an early childhood educator, a primary or secondary school teacher, a postgraduate qualification in an area of specialist knowledge or a research degree to tackle the pressing issues in our education sector, you’ll be taught by sector-leading academics.

Initial teacher education courses include extensive and meaningful professional experience placements, ensuring that graduates are profession-ready. Accreditation of all our teaching courses provides career opportunities in New South Wales, Queensland and across Australia.

Your knowledge, skills and opportunities are enhanced by learning under our unique Southern Cross Model – designed to deliver greater momentum and motivation, achieve milestones quickly, and to set you up for success at university and beyond.
