Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Teaching (BA/BTeach)
Please note: This page refers to the 2012 academic year unless otherwise specified.
The conjoint teaching degree programme combines a Bachelor of Arts with a Bachelor of Teaching (BA/BTeach). It takes four years of full-time study to complete the two degrees and requires study over the summer trimesters. The BTeach provides a sound understanding of classroom practice and includes teaching experiences in both primary and secondary schools. The BA gives specialised knowledge in your chosen major subject(s).
This challenging programme produces teachers of the highest quality. Conjoint graduates become qualified to teach at primary and secondary levels. Admission to the BTeach involves attending an assessment exercise and providing additional information and referee contact details.
In the first year of a conjoint BA/BTeach, students study courses for their BA. The following January, the BTeach starts with an introductory course that includes one week of classroom observation. At this point students decide if teaching is for them. If so, they continue with a conjoint teaching degree. If not, they can continue their BA, retaining the introductory teaching course credit.
A B- average is required to continue in the BA/BTeach.
