Master of Teaching - Primary (080833G) at University of Wollongong: Tuition: $25,344.00 AUD/year (Scholarship Available)

The Master of Teaching (Primary) is for university graduates from non-teaching courses who want to become primary school teachers (Kindergarten to Year 6). On completion of this degree, students will obtain formal qualifications making students eligible to teach children aged 5 to 12 years in public, religious and private schools. This degree produces high quality teachers with an understanding of diversity in the classroom and with strong connections to school communities.

This program focuses on building teaching skills through a professional experience immersion program in their very first session, and regular professional experience periods throughout the degree. Students will complete 60 days of professional experience (PEX), including the option to complete one PEX in a rural or remote area of NSW. There are also opportunities to undertake international immersion programs that, while not counted as a PEX, allow students to travel overseas, visit schools and develop their understanding of people and cultures.

Student’s learning will be supported by online teaching, forums, podcasts and video streamed lectures, on-campus tutorials and in-school activities. Students will benefit from the expertise of local teachers and a range of workshops to develop their skills in communication, technology-enhanced learning, working with parents, designing assessment and conducting school-based research.

During their study students will explore the concepts of teaching and learning to build their professional skills in the key learning areas for primary schools: English, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Creative Arts, Health and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education, and Human Society and its Environment (History and Geography).
