COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Teaching (Primary and Secondary Education) requires completion of 96 credit points through a structured professional entry program designed to prepare graduates to teach across both primary and secondary school settings. This dual specialisation equips students with the knowledge, skills, and professional capabilities needed to teach learners from primary years through to secondary education, typically covering a broad age range across compulsory schooling. The program is supported by mandatory requirements outlined in the special requirements section, ensuring graduates meet national teaching standards and accreditation requirements for both sectors. The 96-credit-point structure develops strong foundations in child and adolescent development, curriculum studies, pedagogy, and inclusive education practices. Students learn how to design, deliver, and assess engaging and age-appropriate learning experiences that support academic, social, emotional, and physical development across different year levels. A strong focus is placed on differentiated instruction, classroom management, and inclusive teaching strategies to meet the needs of diverse learners. The course also provides in-depth study in curriculum areas relevant to both primary and secondary education, including English, mathematics, science, humanities, arts, health and physical education, and digital technologies. Professional experience placements are embedded throughout the program in both primary and secondary school environments, allowing students to apply theory in practice. Overall, this 96-credit-point specialisation prepares graduates to become versatile, reflective, and highly capable teachers who can work effectively across multiple educational contexts in Australia and internationally.
