Master of Education Studies

About

If you’re keen to address some of the key challenges facing education and help develop professional learning communities across Australia and around the world, UC’s Master of Education Studies is an outstanding springboard for an impressive leadership career within the education sector.

During this course, you will examine international policy trends and learn to develop evidence-based curriculums to improve education practices. Combining your professional knowledge and capabilities, you will develop a substantial research paper, which you will then present as part of a group-based capstone unit. Upon graduation, you will have a solid understanding of local and global issues facing education and will be ready to enhance your career as a senior professional in education.

Note: this course is not externally accredited and, therefore, it is not recognised as a teaching qualification in Australia. If you are looking to transition into a teaching
career, UC offers a selection of suitable postgraduate courses.
