Education is the career for those who see potential in others, waiting to be developed. The ones who understand the importance of learning and leading the way. Whether you're a school leaver, considering a career change, or want to further your teaching or education career, Flinders' undergraduate and postgraduate Education degrees will equip you with the skills to become an advocate, a mentor, and an inspiration to your students.
When you study at Flinders, you'll gain job-ready skills with our transformative curriculum, guided by passionate teaching staff who have decades of experience in diverse teaching settings. Choose to focus on early childhood, primary or secondary levels of teaching, or carve your own pathway with electives or a combined degree, expanding your specialist knowledge in areas such as science, visual arts, physical education, language and mathematics. Or, you can pursue a degree in Inclusive and Specialised Education, which gives you extra qualifications to become a special education teacher.
Develop your skills in the classroom with placement opportunities that will see you step into a range of school environments to experience day-to-day life as an educator.
Build a brighter future for every learner at Flinders University. Explore your study options across Bedford Park and online.

It's such an amazing atmosphere at Flinders. My overseas placement at the Australian International School in Kuala Lumpur was the best experience I’ve had during my course. I learned a lot about teaching in a multicultural school, the students came from all over the world!

I would recommend Flinders University as a mature age, single parent, former builder - because not any point in this degree did I feel like I had to do it on my own. Flinders has been one of the best decisions... and one that I will always be proud of.
