Master of Specialist Teaching
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationThe Master of Specialist Teaching provides the opportunity to upskill in a range of specialist teaching areas.
The program is designed for already qualified teachers who want to increase their skills in specialist teaching areas, gain cutting edge knowledge that will help their careers, and support those teaching ‘out-of-field’ or teachers looking to gain specialist knowledge in a new discipline area. Entry into the Master of Specialist (TESOL) is available for those without a teaching degree and wanting to embark on a career in TESOL that does not require an initial teacher training degree.
You will build competency in cross-curricular areas of your chosen specialisation, such as Numeracy, Literacy, STE(A)M (including innovative pedagogies), TESOL and Inclusive Education. After completing your specialist subjects you have the option to obtain your Master’s degree through a research pathway, which involves writing a thesis in your area of specialisation, or a coursework pathway, which involves a capstone professional inquiry project in your area of specialisation.
