The Master of Teaching (Primary Studies) Program provides a postgraduate pathway into a highly successful and rewarding career in teaching. This innovative program is taught in trimester mode, enabling our graduates to enter the workforce rapidly and well prepared. The program aims to develop graduates who are outstanding teachers, who act professionally, ethically and effectively in their professional contexts; who engage in critical inquiry in their practice and the contexts of their practice; and, who play a constructive leadership role in public discourse on, and beyond education.

Each trimester of study enables students to focus on a particular research stream in their coursework – thus enabling them to personalise their learning.  These streams are:

• globalism/social justice
• innovation and technology, and
• research and leadership

Students will complete two professional experience placements (the first which orients them to primary/elementary teaching, and the second as an in-country internship).

Graduates of this program, will be eligible to seek employment as Primary or Elementary teachers in a wide range of international contexts. (Graduates should check on local accreditation/registration requirements to determine the suitability of this program).

Admission to the program is available to International students only and requires:

• the successful completion of an overseas qualification equivalent to a completed Bachelor degree, with at least one year of full-time equivalent studies relevant to one or more areas of the primary school curriculum in their own state, country or territory or the country in which they intend to teach, and
• a written piece of work
