The Master of Teaching (Primary) is for those looking to become teachers in primary settings. It is also excellent training for those pursuing a career in children’s services coordination, research, policy formation, quality regulation and assessment or positions involving early intervention for children with special needs.

With international opportunities and an extensive network of placement schools available for our teacher placements, our placement support is the most comprehensive of all programs in Victoria. We take pride in the excellent support we offer our Master of Teaching (Primary) students from enrolment, throughout their studies, and beyond. You will receive ongoing support – unlike any other university – both on campus and while on placement. As you learn, you will be supported by a Mentor Teacher and a Teaching Specialist.

During the Master of Teaching (Primary) course, you will learn how to become a confident primary school teacher, ready to lead your own classes. You will become an active member of a school in your first semester. This means you can directly connect what you learn at university with what you learn in the classroom.

Through studies in Evidence-Based Teaching, the Master of Teaching will help you develop interventionist educational assistance. You'll develop the professional skills to assess, diagnose and support the individual learning needs of all students, and work with learners of all abilities.
