EDBED4012 Arts Education

This arts education course is designed for generalist primary classroom teachers. It aims to develop confidence and competency in the arts discipline areas of music, visual art, dance, drama, media, visual communication and design. Arts elements and languages are explored in order for pre-service teachers to build the capacity to design, evaluate and implement contemporary learning and teaching sequences of work in and through both the visual and performing arts discipline areas. A key intention is to develop awareness of the breadth, scope and diversity of Arts education. Pre-service teachers will consider pedagogical practices in the arts that explore how students learn as artists and audience, through making and responding. A range of approaches to contemporary artsbased teaching and learning will be explored. The course will address the capacity of Arts education to communicate ideas about important aspects of contemporary life including identity, community, everyday life, the environment and sustainability. Contemporary and traditional arts practices of Indigenous Australians and people from Asia/Pacific regions will also be explored.

Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.

The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).   

2025 student contribution amount: $578


2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578

* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 

For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands, the student contribution amount is determined by the accredited course. Visit our CSP page for further information, including a list of accredited courses. Students not studying in an accredited course will pay the fees listed above. 

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website
