Master of Education

UniSQ's Master of Education is aimed at people already teaching, not career-changers looking for an initial qualification. It's a postgraduate degree for practising educators who want to specialise or move into leadership, and the course design assumes students are working full-time in schools while they study. Specialisation strands typically cover areas like educational leadership, TESOL, inclusive education, and curriculum studies, and students can usually shape a chunk of the degree around whichever of those matches their actual career direction.

Because the degree sits within a university whose delivery model has been built around distance and online study for decades, assessment is structured around what a working teacher can realistically produce alongside a full timetable: applied projects and research tied to the student's own school context rather than requiring long stretches of campus attendance.

A research-focused exit option (often a minor thesis or major project) exists for teachers considering a later move into doctoral study or educational research roles, alongside the more common coursework-only completion for those staying in the classroom or moving into middle leadership.
