Make a difference through education and inspire future generations by studying the Master of Teaching (Secondary) at CQU. The Master of Teaching (Secondary) is an initial teacher education course suitable if you already hold a non-education three-year bachelor degree and wish to become a secondary school teacher.
The Master of Teaching (Secondary) will enable you to teach across two teaching areas. This will include a major teaching area (Years 7-12) and a minor teaching area (Years 7-10). These teaching areas are based on your already completed non-education undergraduate degree with a set number of units completed within that degree qualification.
In addition to building the professional knowledge and skills required to teach, the course is designed to foster dispositions for engaging in and contributing to the teaching profession through a commitment to ongoing professional learning. Plus, you'll complete a professional placement unit in each term of your course (based on a full-time study load), ensuring you are building real-world skills in the classroom and developing your confidence.
Enjoy the flexibility of studying online anywhere in Australia, with both part-time and full-time options available. If you're starting in Term 1, you have the option to fast-track your studies and utilise CQU's three Terms. If you choose this full-time option, your course can be completed in as little as 18 months.
