Primary Teaching
Crafting young minds isn’t just about preparing children for the next stage of learning. It’s about developing those minds for life — and nurturing the next generation.
Our primary education courses prepare you for the challenge of nurturing young minds using the latest learning technologies and educational practices.
During your primary education degree, you’ll learn the theory you need to engage primary school children in a range of subjects, and understand the psychology behind the latest and most innovative teaching techniques.
With on-the-job experience, a primary teaching course with us will prepare you to teach those in their crucial formative years.

“I re-discovered my passion for teaching whilst working in media. The first day flew by and I remember thinking ‘this is where I was always meant to be’. The lecturers create opportunities for us to build on our theory through interactive classes that have us creating lessons with our classmates. Swinburne’s course goes above and beyond.”
