The Diploma of Educational Studies is a game changer for anyone who needs to meet additional entry requirements for a teaching degree.
Designed in partnership with Griffith University, the Diploma of Educational Studies transitions seamlessly into the highly-regarded Bachelor of Education. This puts you in a strong position for a wide range of teaching careers, across the public and private sectors. It can lead to senior positions, like department head or principal.
Griffith University has the highest education graduate success rates in Australia. Our graduates are in demand and find employment in the independent, Catholic and state education systems in Queensland as well as overseas.
An education qualification is also a good general qualification for many areas of work. Rather than teaching in schools, you could choose to follow a different pathway. Options include training settings in industry and government, outdoor education, adult literacy, libraries, educational research, education policy, or consultancy.
If you need additional English, Maths or Science qualifications to be eligible for a teaching degree, this new diploma is perfect for you. Rather than needing to complete extra study, including bridging and enabling subjects, you can meet the requirements while studying this one-year diploma.

Pathways to a Griffith University Education Degree
International students
Bachelor of Education (Primary),
Bachelor of Education (Secondary),
*Students must successfully complete the Diploma of Educational Studies to progress to the Bachelor of Education (Primary) with 60 credit points or Bachelor of Education (Secondary) with 70 credit points. 80 credit points is equivalent to one year of full-time study. Completion of degrees where students obtain less than 80 credit points of advanced standing in the degree, may take additional time.
†NARTE: To meet non-academic entry requirements for progression to the Bachelor of Education, Diploma of Educational Studies graduates must demonstrate they have the key competencies outlined by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL); competencies that are considered reflective of the attributes and motivations common to effective teachers. To demonstrate this, you will complete an online questionnaire towards the end of your diploma. Your study and experiences within the Diploma of Educational Studies will enable you to reflect upon the personal and professional attributes and competencies necessary for a career in teaching, and your Program Convenor will provide you with all the guidance you need to complete the questionnaire.
Primary or secondary school teacher. Secondary teachers choose teaching areas of interest and specialty. Special needs school teaching is another possibility
