Educate young children

Give children their first taste of the transformative effects of education. Early childhood teachers help young children at the beginning of their formal education journey to understand basic numeracy, literacy, art and music, while also developing their social, emotional, intellectual and physical capacities. Our courses enable you to step into the field for the first time with confidence, or enhance your professional opportunities once you’re working.

Inspire young minds

Drive innovation and enhance student outcomes for those entering the school system. Teaching primary school-aged children has many rewards – from imparting knowledge across a wide range of subjects and fostering inquisitiveness and a thirst for knowledge, to supporting communication development and cultural awareness. Whether in the classroom or behind the scenes, there are few careers as rewarding as primary education.

Share your passion for a subject

Communicate your passion for a subject to secondary students. As a secondary teacher, you can specialise in one or more subject areas to deliver your expertise to students and fire up their enthusiasm. You also play a role in promoting students’ emotional, physical and intellectual wellbeing in their journey towards adulthood. Whether standing at the front of a classroom or researching innovations, a Charles Sturt University degree empowers you to achieve exceptional results.

Help people change their lives through learning

Learning should be lifelong, giving everyone the chance to gain new skills and expand their opportunities. Whether at TAFE, a registered training organisation or in industry, as an adult and vocational teacher you will empower people to gain specialised knowledge and skills, further their learning or attain the basics they may have missed out on previously. At Charles Sturt University you will learn about the socioeconomic and political dimensions of teaching, the latest digital technologies to enhance student outcomes, and highly effective teaching methods – for whichever teaching avenue you pursue.

Develop educational expertise

Attaining specialised education knowledge sharpens your ability to improve student outcomes. You may choose to deliver innovative digital learning solutions, maximise the experience of distance learning, foster in-depth understanding of particular subjects, or develop procedures and policy to ensure education is available to all. Our courses help you lead the field in your chosen profession, driving change for the future needs of education.

Share the richness of the English language

As communication, business and culture become more globalised, there is an increasing demand for teachers who can traverse borders – figuratively and literally. If you already have teaching qualifications and/or experience, this area of education can really broaden your horizons. Whether you’re starting out teaching English to students of other language backgrounds or developing and implementing international education, your career will have a truly global focus.
