Master of Teaching (Primary)

UNSW’s Master of Teaching (Primary) is the only degree of its kind in Australia – it’s an innovative postgraduate program that will provide you a fast-track to employment as a primary school teacher. The program is a two-year equivalent teacher degree, that can be completed in 1.3 years full-time (four terms). Developed in partnership with the NSW Department of Education and local primary school networks, and accredited by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), our program will equip you to teach kindergarten through to year six in diverse learning environments, government and non-government primary schools, and in all states of Australia and overseas. Throughout the program you will develop the requisite knowledge and skills to enable you to meet the Australian graduate teacher standards. Academic lecturers and local teachers with experience in primary education work together to provide core education courses and discipline-specific curriculum and pedagogy studies within the six key learning areas of the primary curriculum - English, Mathematics, Science and Technology, History and Geography, Creative Arts, Personal Development, Health and Physical Education.
