WHY STUDY EDUCATION AT CQUNIVERSITY
Education is one of Australia’s largest professions, with career opportunities in schools, TAFE and vocational education, universities and training organisations, as well as in the public and private sector.
Make a difference
Many future educators have a desire to make a difference in the lives of the people they teach and to share their passion for learning. A large number of permanent teachers are employed each year in Australia, and many are offered temporary or contract positions. Generally, teachers enjoy a competitive salary, generous superannuation schemes, locality allowance for service in specified regions and significant leave entitlements.
