Course overview

Make an impact on young people's lives. The Master of Teaching (Primary) program qualifies graduates with non-education bachelor's degrees to teach in primary schools with students in Prep to Year 6. In this program you will learn to inspire young students and apply existing subject knowledge in the classroom. You will study core courses that prepare you to teach english, maths, science, technology, arts, history, geography, health and physical education (PE). You will learn how to motivate and encourage young students through curriculum design, teaching strategies and behaviour management, and enhance your knowledge and skills through ongoing professional development seminars and employment forums. You will complete Supervised Professional Experience in three blocks, totalling 60 days of practice teaching, with the opportunity to gain experience in rural and remote areas throughout Queensland.

Entry requirements

Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.

Postgraduate entry

You must have completed a non-education bachelors degree (AQF Level 7) or equivalent, with a minimum GPA of 4. 0 from a recognised tertiary institution which includes the equivalent of at least one full-time year of study in areas relevant to one or more learning areas of the primary school curriculum.

English requirement
IELTS Academic 6, no band below 5.5

If your current English result is below direct entry, consider the university-recognised English language pathway or ELICOS package; successful completion at the required level can usually satisfy English entry without another English test.
