Griffith University does not support reset of LANTITE test attempts.

Master of Secondary Teaching overview

The Master of Teaching (Secondary) provides students with the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge of the craft, taking two years to complete if undergone full time or up to four years part time. The University of Sydney and similar institutions provide fundamental units in literacy and numeracy teaching like graduate certificates and diplomas, with the added benefit of additional subjects like history curriculum development, languages, special education and gaining experience with teacher internships.

Employment options

The employment options detailed more extensively here are a fantastic way of getting into the secondary education industry. Joining a discipline-specific society like the Australian Science Teachers Association is way to make useful connections, update skills and find employment opportunities that most other graduates would miss. It’s highly recommended to seek these out to improve employment prospects.

Scholarships and funding

There are a variety of scholarships available to students of secondary teaching. The following are some of the best.

Prerequisites and selection process

Students must either hold a Bachelor of Teaching or a bachelor degree in a cognate discipline to enter. A ‘cognate discipline’ can be any subject taught in secondary schools, such as mathematics, English, science, design and technology, legal studies and more. Some programs also require students to have a credit GPA (65%) to enter, although this is not always the case. This requirement can be circumvented by completing a graduate certificate or diploma, which is often an accepted alternate entry path.
