Transform your bachelor's degree into a teaching career with UC's Master of Teaching. This postgraduate program combines practical classroom experience from day one with flexible study options, designed for career changers passionate about education.
Entrants must have a discipline-specific bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification relevant to the Australian Curriculum or other recognised areas of schooling provision. The program is designed for people who already hold a bachelor's degree in a field outside of education and want to become qualified teachers. UC offers a supportive and personalised admissions experience to guide you through the process.
The course units are designed to help you grow into a confident and capable teacher and vary depending on whether you choose the Primary or Secondary pathway. Across the course, you'll explore key areas including curriculum and assessment, inclusive education, classroom management, student development and Indigenous teaching and learning. Master of Primary Teaching focuses on skills to teach across the Australian Curriculum, from literacy and numeracy to science, the arts, health and humanities. Master of Secondary Teaching focuses more deeply on your chosen discipline or teaching areas along with units in digital technologies, student wellbeing and assessment.
