Master of Teaching (Primary)

If you have an undergraduate degree and want to take the next step into teaching, the Master of Teaching will qualify you to teach in primary schools across Australia. You will build on your prior study and develop effective teaching techniques that engage and inspire your students.

Led by experienced education professionals with recent or current teaching practice, this course combines online learning with teaching placements in in real school classrooms. Our students get great feedback from their placement schools - we ensure you are prepared and supported to make your placement a positive experience.

Are you ready for more placement opportunities? The Master of Teaching (Primary) is also uniquely designed to run across four teaching periods a year to better align with Victorian school terms and dates. This new course structure will help you find more teaching placements that suit your personal teaching goals.

As a Swinburne Online student, you will also have access to unique development opportunities. These include the Swinburne Teachers and Regional Remote Schools (STARS) program, which is part of the Access Quality Teaching Initiative. The program will place you in professional experience placements in regional, remote and/or lower socio-educational advantage schools in Victoria. This will give you valuable experience with a diverse range of educational communities.

When you graduate, you'll be qualified to practice as a primary teacher, with accreditation from the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT).
