About this program

The Master of Teaching at Monash University is designed for individuals seeking to become effective educators in various educational settings. This two-year postgraduate programme encompasses comprehensive training in curriculum and instruction, equipping future teachers with essential pedagogical skills and theoretical knowledge. The course is structured into semesters with a series of units that focus on both practical teaching strategies and in-depth educational theory.

A key component of the programme is the opportunity for work-integrated learning, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in schools through professional placements. These placements are vital for developing practical classroom management skills and enabling connections with industry professionals, enhancing students’ employability upon graduation. Additionally, students will engage in a capstone project or research thesis, providing a platform for in-depth exploration of specific educational issues.

The Master of Teaching suits a diverse range of candidates, including those looking to switch careers into education or professionals wanting to deepen their expertise in teaching methodologies. Graduates will emerge with a strong foundation in curriculum design, assessment strategies, and inclusive teaching practices, along with the ability to critically reflect on their teaching in relation to student learning outcomes.

It is important for prospective international students to note the English language requirements set forth by Monash University, which include a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 for teaching-related fields. Students in Australia also benefit from work rights, allowing them to work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying, which can further enrich their educational experience.
