Diploma in Arts Extended - Pathway to Teaching Early Childhood/Primary

Open up to a world of options. This program is your first academic step towards a rewarding teaching career. It will also give you the skills you need to explore your prospects beyond the classroom.

Be a critical thinker, not a narrow specialist. Alongside a major in Education Studies and a minor in Early Childhood Studies, you’ll have the option to choose an Arts major in Cultural and Social Analysis, English, History and Political Thought, or International Relations and Asian Studies.

When you successfully complete the 16-month diploma from The College, you gain guaranteed entry into the second year of the Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Birth-5/Birth-12) at Western Sydney University.

To apply, you won’t need an ATAR; all you’ll need are ambition and the determination to work hard. Once you’re here, our mission is to make sure you have the supportive learning environment and flexibility to transform your life. That includes smaller class sizes with greater access to one-on-one teaching and support. Our Extended Diplomas also cover extra introductory subjects that will prepare you for success in your tertiary studies and beyond.

At The College, we’re dedicated to your success. We know that if you’re given a supportive learning environment with a dedicated team of educators, anything is possible. Our wide range of pathway options include University Foundation Studies, Extended Diplomas and Integrated Diploma/Bachelor programs. Your success starts here.
