About

Drive economic, social and political change with innovative research

Pursue an advanced research project in politics, public policy, or international relations. Guided by expert supervisors with strong links to government and industry you will conduct independent research in a field that is important to you and where you can make a difference. You will have the opportunity to contribute new knowledge and expand your understanding of the political forces that steer the world and the countries within it.

The Master of Teaching (Secondary) consists of 72 units over two years, taken as 36 units per year in a full-time load or the equivalent on a part-time basis. The study program includes an introduction to teaching and research in the education profession, researching learners and learning, and relationships for learning and teaching. Curriculum topics will deal with understanding and developing curriculum in context in the middle years of school as well as senior years specialisations, and assessment in education. Topics will discuss differentiation and inclusive educational practices, teaching Indigenous Australian students as well as professional issues in secondary education, and the reflective professional in action. Literacies and numeracies for the middle and secondary years and ICT will be covered. The program will include the required professional experience placements with preparation lectures and preliminary work.
