Master of Teaching students can specialise in primary or secondary teaching.
The secondary teaching specialisation requires students to choose two curriculum teaching areas, which are determined by the discipline(s) undertaken in the student’s undergraduate degree.
You will be required to undertake a number of Professional Experience placements totalling 60 days. This will give you the opportunity to apply the theoretical and practical skills that you have learnt in a safe and supportive environment.
The Master of Teaching is available on-campus in Hobart and fully online- by distance. Not sure if you want to study online or on-campus? We offer flexible study options that allow you to choose how and where you study, depending on your needs.

The jet-setting teacher
As an English teacher and Master of Teaching graduate, Kate Dewar is passionate about changing low rates of adult literacy in Tasmania and encouraging people to value education.
Course objectives
Students who undertake the Master of Teaching pre-service teacher education course will graduate with a professional qualification and preparation that meets national expectations and standards and makes them favoured for recruitment in systems throughout Tasmania and Australia. Through experiencing an internationalised curriculum our students will graduate with a global perspective and an enhanced capacity to teach overseas and experience the world whilst working. The program is informed by core theoretical knowledge, evidence-based practice and underpinned by a strong theory-practice nexus enacted in collaboration with appropriate employing authorities.
Learning outcomes

- Developing the content, pedagogical, and pedagogical content knowledge of a teacher.
- Becoming a critically reflective educator.
- Engaging with the educational community and the profession.
Practical experience
Professional Experience Placements
An integral part of your learning in the Master of Teaching are classroom placements - putting into active practice the theory and knowledge you have been studying throughout your degree.
As a student you will participate in a minimum of 60 days (12 weeks) of full-time Professional Experience. Placements are usually scheduled as continuous ‘blocks’ of time ranging from 5 to 30 days, and occur in a variety of learning environments.
Placements are designed to enable our students to become familiar with a variety of Primary and Secondary learners and learning environments. Your placements will involve active observation, participation and engagement in teaching and learning roles and activities. For Master of Teaching pre-service teachers, placements focus on subject specialisation in a Primary or Secondary context.
During your placement you will be supervised and managed by a tertiary qualified educator (your Colleague Teacher), and be assessed against Focus Areas within the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
Overseas Exchange
The Faculty of Education has a number of exchange partnerships with Universities whose curriculum and teaching our closely aligned with our own. Find out more about the University’s Exchange Programs at Student Mobility.
