Bachelor of Health, Physical Education and Sport (Secondary) at RMIT University

A Master of Education (Special Education) prepares educators to support individuals with a range of special educational needs in mainstream classrooms. This course highlights three distinct streams: Autism, Mental Health and Learning. These address the challenges and issues faced by mainstream teachers in mainstream educational practice. It fills a much-needed gap in professional development for teachers in the field.

This program is an accredited professional teaching qualification for students possessing an appropriate bachelor's degree. It prepares graduates for careers in secondary school settings in particular science, technology, engineering and/or mathematics (STEM) in NSW, other Australian states and internationally. The program provides a strong qualification in secondary STEM education, and is taught on campus and in schools, through innovative blended teaching and learning approaches. Graduates meet the Australian Professional Standards for Graduate Teachers, required for registration with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). The Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Secondary) STEM is an early exit point for students not seeking a professional teaching qualification.

The Master of Teaching (Birth - 5 Years / Birth - 12 Years) is a post graduate initial teaching qualification. It provides students with the flexibility of a teaching qualification for early childhood or a combined early childhood and primary teaching qualification. Students can choose to focus on teaching in the prior to school areas with an early exit point of a Master of Teaching (Birth - 5 Years) or they can undertake an additional six months of study to complete a teaching qualification for early childhood and primary school teaching with the Master of Teaching (Birth - 12 Years). This program would be appropriate for people wanting to work as a qualified teacher in preschool and early childhood services and also in a primary school setting.
