As a full-time student you will generally attend 10-15 hours of scheduled classes per week throughout the semester. Classes may be scheduled during the day and evening throughout the week. Students may take a reduced study load. You will be classed as a part-time student if you enrol in less than 30 credit points per semester. This may affect entitlement to Centrelink benefits. International students must maintain a full-time study load. Career opportunities As a graduate, you will have advanced writing and presentation skills, the ability to handle and analyse information and also experience in organising and completing projects. Above all, you will have a commitment to continued learning and an appreciation of its importance to your professional success in the future. These personal attributes will give you social confidence and equip you well for the many stimulating fields in which arts graduates find employment. These include advertising, administration, clerical, education, government, journalism, management, media, retail and research. You will also be eligible to apply for entry to a Graduate Diploma of Education program (see below). Study pathways Bachelor of Arts/Graduate Diploma of Education - Secondary From 2008, students who complete this Arts program can then undertake the Graduate Diploma of Education - Secondary program at either the Mt Gravatt or Gold Coast campus. Students in this Arts program are required to undertake content studies in two teaching areas. In the fourth year, students can continue to study for the Graduate Diploma of Education - Secondary where they will be required to select two teaching areas in the middle and senior school on the basis of content studies from their Bachelor of Arts degree. The Graduate Diploma program covers the theory and practice of teaching, concentrating on the characteristics of learners and teachers and the social and educational contexts of education. This program includes education studies, curriculum studies in nominated teaching areas and professional experience in Years 6 to 9 (middle years) and senior secondary school settings. The combination of both programs provides professional preparation for teaching in middle (Years 6 to 9) and senior (Years 10 to 12) years in school settings.
