The Master of Education is a comprehensive degree that provides an opportunity for existing teachers and other education practitioners to upskill and enhance their research ability and expertise in particular areas of education theory and practice. It is important to note that this course is not an Initial Teacher Education (ITE) course.
With a great deal of flexibility in choosing your units, you can tailor your Master of Education pathway to acquire dynamic skills in specialised areas such as career development and counselling, embedding Indigenous themes into education settings, inclusive practices in the classroom, and innovative learning design.
There are several ways to attain your Master of Education, depending on your background. Each pathway allows you to combine five core Master Units with a combination of units or Graduate Certificates in the following specialisation areas:
