As im sure many aussies out there are aware, the university maze is a bit bewildering when you're trying to figure out how to get into an undergraduate course and which one is right for you. I guess this can be a general topic, but specifically im looking to ultimately be a history teacher, or something similar, and Im torn between multiple options and paths for achieving this. Im a NSW resident btw.
The main problem is I’ve got a kind of general BA course, which has the option of studying both Modern and Ancient History at the same time (this would be my ideal study), but doesn’t have much in terms of teaching aspects, or at least not much info in how you would approach the course with the ultimate agenda of teaching. Im also a bit unsure as to what ‘recommended’ studies are? It briefly mentions them but there’s no mention of them anywhere else in any course outlines. Modern History is mentioned as a 'recommended' study. Are they the same as Major studies?
BA course info
Then you’ve got the specific Bachelor of education teaching course, which lists ‘history’ as one subject, and would result in me having to take up either English or Visual arts as the second elective. Im not sure this would be the kind of comprehensive study of history im looking for, but it has a stronger focus on teaching.
edutcation course info
Im honestly leaning towards the BA course, because it seems more flexible and open which would suit me because im not too sure of the waters yet, and it has a focus on the subjects I want to learn about (i can major in history and minor in Americas studies or Archaeology, but im a bit worried this will hamstring me if I want to continue on to be a teacher or actually do anything with the course.
Essentially the whole things rather nightmarish and I really dont have a grip on how it all fits together. Im also a mature age student (22). Basically I want to study history, modern and ancient, and hope to get a teaching job out of it, but would like very much to have a strong focus on the actual study.
Im going in on the 29th for an open day and hopefully I can pin down someone who can give me the information I need, but anything from people who know how the whole thing works would be great. I kind of lack a fundamental understanding of how the courses, modules, electives, etc all link together.

Couldn't find anything specific for private schools, but check out jobs listings on monster or seek.
Also, you'll be able to use that degree in other careers more easily.

TBH hates himself almost as much
I hate viv the most
