Education minor
If you’re curious about teaching, training or leading learning in informal settings, the Education minor gives you a solid foundation in how people learn, and the chance to apply these skills in real community organizations.
You’ll explore learning design, teaching strategies and inclusive, student-centred practice. You’ll also complete a hands-on internship or volunteer placement where you’ll support real learners in schools, community programs, museums, youth centres and more.
- Open to all UVic students (except those already in teacher education)
- Learn the foundations of learning, teaching and instructional design
- Hands-on experiential learning through a community internship or volunteer placement
- Choose electives that match your interests, from child development and Indigenous education to community leadership and communication.
