Master of Teaching

This course prepares you for a career as a skilled, critical and effective educator in the early childhood sector, primary schools, secondary schools, or a combination of these. This course is designed for those with an undergraduate degree in any relevant discipline who want to gain a teaching qualification.

You will build a high level of expertise in one of five specialisations:

• Early childhood education 
• Early childhood and primary education
• Primary education
• Primary and secondary education
• Secondary education.

Please note that the Primary education specialisation will be offered only at the Clayton campus in 2025.

The course will prepare you for teaching in an increasingly diverse, complex and changing world. You will engage with contemporary ideas and practices and learn how to foster the learning of children and young people with varied needs. This will enable you to develop your students' creative, intellectual, physical, personal and social capabilities.

While learning to handle the complex nature of teaching, you will develop the specific professional knowledge and teaching skills needed to engage students of various ages and developmental stages with particular school subjects. Professional experience offered throughout the course in urban, rural, remote or international locations and education settings, will build your knowledge of teaching and learning. As a result, you will become a thoughtful, effective and inclusive educator able to design learning experiences that ensure that your students have the right balance of challenge and support to progress in areas such as: the arts and music, English, mathematics, humanities, physical education, health and wellbeing, science, and digital technologies.

The Master of Teaching will prepare you as a professional educator for the global workforce. As a graduate of the course, you will have a strong base for decision making within your practice which will assist you to establish yourself as a leader of the future.
