Master Degrees (Coursework) prepare students to apply advanced knowledge for professional practice, scholarship and further learning corresponding to AQF level 9 qualifications. This one-year full time equivalent course is for educators working in a range of educational contexts who hold a four-year teacher education degree or equivalent. Students will utilise and build on their professional knowledge, practices and contexts with an emphasis on curriculum and pedagogical leadership and innovation. Students can select from units that enable advanced specialisation in one of three areas of expertise: • Innovative Learning and Teaching • STEM Education Innovation • Cultural and Linguistic Diversity Alternatively, to provide maximum flexibility, students can also customise their degree by choosing any combination of units from across these specialisations. The degree incorporates a Negotiated Capstone Project where students investigate an area of individual or professional interest to understand and transform educational knowledge, real-world practices and challenges.
Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.
Applicants require an education/teaching degree assessed as being the equivalent of a four-year Australian degree (normally a Bachelor of Education or a four-year combined/double education degree e.g.
BSc/BEd); OR a three-year degree in a non-education discipline (e.g.
Arts, Science, Commerce) plus a postgraduate teaching qualification with a minimum duration of one-year, such as a Graduate Diploma in Education or Master of Teaching
If your current English result is below direct entry, consider the university-recognised English language pathway or ELICOS package; successful completion at the required level can usually satisfy English entry without another English test.
