Semester 1, Semester 2
The Master of Education is designed to meet the needs of experienced educators seeking professional learning, personal and professional enquiry and intellectual engagement within a specialist area or across a range of specialisations.
  • 1 Critically evaluate a range of theoretical frameworks in education and related fields in order to design, assess and/or theorise responses to changing educational contexts.
  • 2 Synthesise and analyse scholarly literature to deepen knowledge of local and international developments in practice and to support the development of project and research planning.
  • 3 Consolidate professional experience, workplace knowledge and contemporary literature in developing creative responses to current educational debates.
  • 4 Use a range of communicative technologies to explain complex theoretical concepts in relation to practice-based issues, educational research, policy and current literature to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  • 5 Articulate how collegial educational professionalism requires ethical standards as well as evidence-based and exploratory approaches of practice, research, and evaluation.
  • Course structure

    The Master of Education requires the completion of 150 credit points, which may include an optional Specialisation from the course schedule.

    When you complete the Master of Education with a specialisation, you'll concentrate half of your course in single area of study. This will be recognised on your academic transcript and testamur upon graduation.

    Alternatively, completing without a specialisation gives you more opportunity to complete a broader range of units that fit your individual personal and professional goals.

    In both cases you will complete a capstone research dissertation.

    For assistance tailoring your degree to suit your interests or situation get in touch with a Student Advisor.

    If you are starting in 2023 you can find your course planner here. Your course planner gives you a visual representation of your course and will help you plan which units to enrol in and when.

    For course planners from previous years, refer to the handbook entry for that year.

    If you wish to complete the Master of Education with a specialisation, your 150 credit points will comprise: - a 12.5 credit points of Core Option units - a 50 credit point Specialisation - 37.5 credit points of Elective units and; - a 50 credit point Dissertation

    Fees & scholarships

    Domestic students

    Options for this course

    This is a full-fee course, which means you’ll need to pay the entire amount for your studies. Commonwealth supported places are not available in this postgraduate course. However, there are still support options available for eligible students to help you manage the cost of studying this course.

    You may be able to fund all or part of your tuition fees by accessing a FEE-HELP loan from the Australian Government. FEE-HELP is a loan scheme that assists domestic full-fee students to pay for University, which is repaid through the Australian Tax System once you earn above a repayment threshold. This means you’ll only have to start repaying the loan once you start earning above a specific amount.

    Our scholarships and prizes program also offers more than 400 scholarships across all areas of study. You can even apply for multiple scholarships in one easy application.
