Master of Teaching (Secondary)

Teaching isn’t just a job. It’s a passion, a dedication, a commitment and a way of life. It’s a career founded in care, resourcefulness, innovation, lifelong learning and leadership. This is what the Master of Teaching (Secondary) with Excelsia is all about. Our degree is underpinned by a Christian world view and designed to give you the tools to inspire hope, ignite imagination, and instil a love of learning in the children and young adults you teach. Domestic students can choose to undertake the course fully online or study some units on campus. International students can only study on campus. One of the best things about studying a Master of Teaching (Secondary) with Excelsia is that it’s hands-on from the word ‘go’. In any given semester you’ll study a mix of foundation units, like cultural perspectives or psychology for teachers, along with curriculum studies such as English, mathematics, physics, drama, history, music and design and technology.
