GPFSP1302 Introduction to Education
Introduction to Education aims to introduce students to some of the key facets of education, both as a field of study and as a profession. Education entails a complicated set of relationships between educators and students, between educational settings and a changing global context, and between educational practice and societal expectations of the profession. These issues will help provide a framework within which to introduce the theory and practice of education, in a manner which will prepare students for further educational studies at a tertiary level.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $2,124
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $2,124
Grandfathered contribution amount - 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.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
