  • Overview

  • About the Programme

    The Master of Education programme is designed for educational practitioners, in-service teachers, educational administrators and other education professionals. This programme will provide you with the knowledge and skills required to be a successful leader in the field of education.

    In this programme, you will explore critical issues in educational practice, policy and research strengthening your professional learning, and enhancing you career pathway.

    As part of the programme core, you will complete a research-based project in addition to units such as Introduction to Research for Educators, Workplace Policy and Practice, and Pathways to Understanding Education.

    As a stepping stone towards the Master of Education, our Graduate Certificate in Education will provide you with advanced standing into the Master of Education itself.

    All teachers have a responsibility to understand diversity and teach in ways that are inclusive of all students. Through this programme, you will gain specialist knowledge in order to assist in negotiating the complexity of supporting students with a diverse range of abilities and backgrounds.

    You will be able to identify and understand diverse learning needs, as well as develop and implement strategies to enhance learning outcomes for these students. The focus will be on inclusion and diversity – learning in the classroom for all students.

     

    Graduation & Degree Awarded

    Students who successfully complete and pass the units stipulated in the programme structure will be awarded the Master of Education Inclusive and Special Needs Education from Murdoch University, Australia.

    The Master’s Degree will be the same as that awarded to the on-campus graduates in Australia.
