Q. Why would I do a Bachelor of Learning Management?
A. Traditionally, people who wished to undertake a teacher education program, enrolled in a Bachelor of Education. The B.Ed is now more than 25 years old. The world has changed dramatically during the last ten years, let alone 25 years. So at CQUniversity , we have developed a new teacher education degree (with current teachers and education systems) to reflect the real work of teachers: now and into the future. Our program provides students with significant practical studies as they spend 33% of their study time in a teaching school - starting in Term 1 of the program. This contact increases during subsequent years of the program, culminating in an 'Internship'.
