Master of Education - Coursework
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Master of Education (Coursework) deepens working education professionals' understanding of teaching, learning and educational systems through structured coursework engaging with educational theory, research and practice, building capacity to critically analyse educational issues across varied professional contexts. The coursework-focused structure suits curriculum specialists, educational leaders, policymakers and learning support professionals as much as classroom teachers, with flexible specialisations and electives letting students shape their studies around their specific professional needs. It's important to note this program doesn't provide teaching accreditation for NSW or Australian schools, and fully online study isn't available to international students on a student visa. It suits education professionals who want a structured, taught postgraduate qualification building on existing professional experience rather than a research-heavy degree.
