The Master of Teaching program is tailored for individuals pursuing their first teaching qualification to become registered educators in Australia or other nations that accept Australian teaching credentials.
This program also serves certified teachers looking to acquire an additional formal qualification, if required, to transition into Early Childhood, Primary, or Secondary Education.
Throughout the Master of Teaching, you'll develop sophisticated analytical abilities, expertise, and insights into educational best practices to address contemporary learners' needs.
The curriculum includes professional experience opportunities, culminating in a teaching placement during your final year. This specialization prepares graduates to teach students in grades 7 through 12.
Participants can focus on one or two of six subject areas (contingent on academic background), qualifying them to teach those specific subjects in secondary schools.
This pathway emphasizes curriculum and teaching methodology, offering additional chances to implement subject-specific knowledge from your Primary Teaching Area within secondary education settings. It's designed for students admitted to the program with a single Primary Teaching Area based on their application.

Qualification Requirements
You must have a bachelor degree or equivalent from a recognised institution with studies relevant to the curriculum areas offered at Curtin. Specifically, a major teaching area equivalent to a total of three-quarters of a year of successful EFTSL, comprising of sequential discipline study. This equates to six units, with no more than two at first-year level and no fewer than two units at third-year level. Applicants wishing to qualify with a minor teaching area must also have equivalent to a total of half a year of successful EFTSL, comprising of sequential discipline study. This equates to four units, with no more than two at first-year level. Applicants may be eligible for entry based on previous studies in a major teaching area only.
Applicants will also be required to engage in assessment of non-academic attributes in order to reflect on their suitability for teaching. Students will be responsible for meeting any costs associated with this assessment process.
You also need to meet a minimum standard of English Language Proficiency, as you are required to teach others in English during your professional experience placements.
Entry to this course will not be possible based on work experience alone. This is consistent with current practice for courses in the School of Education. This course is not suitable for qualified Secondary teachers wishing to change their subject specialisation.
