Master of Education

About

The education industry is constantly evolving and it’s vital to stay at the top of your game. If you’re an accomplished educator ready to strengthen your teaching capability, this one-year postgraduate qualification will set you up for immense professional growth and expertise in the field. You will explore areas including contemporary theory, critical research, and the effects of globalisation on the reconfiguring of the education sector.

Engaging and flexible, the course can be taken either full-time or part-time, and tailored to meet your individual professional needs, with your study culminating in the presentation of a substantial piece of scholarship. You will be required to offer an evidence-based analysis on a topic relevant to your field of practice which you will then present as part of a group-based capstone unit. Upon graduation, you will be well-positioned for additional postgraduate education study, career progression within your own workplace, or ready to thrive in a new role as a senior education professional.
