Course TZ9 - Master of Teaching (Secondary) | Federation University Handbook

Course overview

Our Master of Teaching (Secondary) course offers learning options to suit individual circumstances and ensures graduates are well-prepared for teaching. Students can complete the course in an accelerated mode over 1.5 years, full-time over 2 years, or part-time over three years. The course is online and attracts applicants from across Victoria. Students can choose to attend weekly remote scheduled classes or to learn in more flexible ways with independent access to quality online learning resources. Lecturers provide individualised attention and students apply their learning in regular teaching experiences in local schools. Students are expected to attend two face-to-face intensives in the first year of the course. With government scholarships that cover university fees and paid school placement opportunities available, now is the time to become a teacher! Our employment-based program, those applying for the Master of Teaching (Secondary), and wishing to study over 1.5 or 2 years, may also be eligible for our funded employment-based program. Please note:  If students are planning to study Physical Education Curriculum, Science and/or Senior Science Curriculum, or Outdoor Education Curriculum, they will have the opportunity to attend in-person intensive days or field trips as part of their course.
