The Master of Teaching (Secondary Studies) program at the University of Newcastle provides a postgraduate pathway into a highly successful and rewarding career in teaching. This innovative program is taught in trimester mode, enabling our graduates to enter the workforce rapidly and well prepared. The program aims to develop graduates who are outstanding teachers who act professionally, ethically and effectively in their professional contexts; who engage in critical inquiry in their practice and the contexts of their practice; and who play a constructive leadership role in public discourse in and beyond education.
Each trimester of study enables students to focus on a particular research stream in their coursework - thus enabling them to personalise their learning. These streams are:
globalism/social justice
innovation and technology, and
research and leadership
Students will complete two professional experience placements (the first which orients them to secondary teaching, and the second as an in-country internship).
Graduates of this program, will be eligible to seek employment as secondary teachers in a wide range of international contexts. (Graduates should check on local accreditation/registration requirements to determine the suitability of this program).
