Master of Teaching (Primary)
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
This course develops the specialist knowledge, skills, and capabilities needed to work as an effective primary school educator, building on prior study and extensive professional practice to deliver an advanced skill set for classroom teaching. Murdoch's Master of Teaching (Primary) is built around a strong connection between university learning and professional experience in schools throughout the program, using a blended mix of online activities and face-to-face learning, with authentic assessments contributing to a professional teaching portfolio. A Graduate Diploma in Education (Primary Teaching) is available as an alternative exit pathway after one year of study. Students undertaking mandatory industry placements as part of the course may be eligible for the Commonwealth Prac Payment (CPP), a government program providing financial support during placements. Secondary teaching in areas such as maths, science, and languages is more consistently on Australia's skilled occupation lists than primary teaching, where migration relevance is more variable; graduates of either pathway must also register with the relevant state teaching authority before they can work in schools.
