The Master of Education (Educational Leadership) is for people who are currently in educational leadership roles or who wish to pursue leadership positions in educational settings such as schools, early childhood, higher education and vocational education. During this degree you will study the fundamentals of educational leadership and management, and learn how to apply this to your practice as an educator. You will also enhance your skills in areas such as mentoring new educators, managing curricula and assessment, supporting staff development, and leading organisational change. Throughout the degree, you will build the skills to investigate and solve complex issues in a rapidly changing educational climate and conduct an individualised research project that ties in with your work and interests.

You have the opportunity to incorporate electives from other education specialisations such as Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), Special Education, Adult and Vocational Education, or Information and Communication Technology in Education and Training (ICT), in order to tailor your degree. You will also benefit from flexible study options that allow you to study online or in the classroom.
