Students who complete this degree will NOT qualify for registration with the Teachers' Registration Board of South Australia.

Students in the Bachelor of Education double degree program are reminded that they may have the option to exit with either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Languages instead of the Bachelor of Education Studies if the units required for the specified degree have been completed. Students in the double degree programs with Disability Studies may be eligible to transfer to the 144 unit Bachelor of Disability and Developmental Education and apply for credit for topics already completed. Students in the double degree program with Health Sciences may be eligible to transfer to the 108 unit Bachelor of Health Sciences and apply for credit for topics already completed. Students in the double degree programs with Science may be eligible to transfer to the 108 unit Bachelor of Science and apply for credit as per the Bachelor of Science course rule.
