Deciding which uni to go to - UNE or LA Trobe
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2016 9:07 pm
Hi all, I'm diploma qualified and was doing the Bachelor of EDUCATION (Early Childhood) with USQ which is a 4 yr online degree that lets me teach up to 8 year olds. I've decided that I enjoy teaching 3 and 4 year old kinder and wanting to focus more on being an Early Childhood Educator. Therefore, I'm looking at changing my university as USQ only has a 3 YEAR DEGREE for early childhood which does not qualify me for registration at all! I'm in Melbourne and have found out that I need to complete a 4 year education degree to be registered as an ECT here in Victoria! This means that UNE is currently my first choice as i will only have 16 units to complete to get a degree which is equivalent to a 4 yr education degree. There's also an online degree with La Trobe which would be 2.5yrs long which would also be considered a 4 yr degree. The problem is - I've googled UNE online and everybody is complaining about the uni being horrid and how the uni is more concerned about getting paid than dishing out a proper education. i've also googled La Trobe online and their degree is called the Bachelor of Early Learning. I'm ranting here and sorry if i'm not making any sense. I just wanted to know if anybody else here is doing the above mentioned degrees and how their experience is like so far? Thanks!!
