This is the combination of the Master of Teaching (Secondary) and the Graduate Certificate in Religious Education.

The Graduate Certificate in Religious Education provides the certification, fundamental knowledge, skills and competencies needed to teach religious education.

The Master of Teaching (Secondary) is for graduates who want to become secondary school teachers and have an appropriate undergraduate degree. Graduates will meet the requirements for teaching in Catholic, independent and government high schools and other secondary schools.

Depending on their undergraduate degree this Masters degree will prepare students to teach specialist areas including:

• Visual arts, media arts, music and/or drama
• English
• Mathematics
• Economics and business
• Humanities and social sciences
• Languages
• Health and physical education and outdoor education
• ICT and digital technologies
• Science
• Religious education.

It enables students to adopt a research-based approach to reflective practice. They’ll be able to consider the implications and applications of this approach to their own professional development and its contribution to their students’ learning and wellbeing.

The course provides valuable professional experience through a range of school and community-based placements during the course.

The Master of Teaching (Secondary)/Graduate Certificate in Religious Education is the combination of the Master of Teaching (Secondary) and the Graduate Certificate in Religious Education, specifically designed to assist students to meet accreditation requirements to teach Religious Education in Catholic Schools in addition to their other teaching areas.
