Course Overview

About This Course

The Master of Educational Studies is an exit point on completion of 160 credit points of study from the Master of Teaching (Secondary) or Master of Teaching (Primary) as indicated in the program sequence. This program provides an exit point for students who do not meet the National Literacy and Numeracy TEST requirement. Offered as a Masters Degree qualification of 160 credit points, it is normally completed in 2 years full-time and 4 years part-time. Students do not apply for this award directly: admission is to the parent program, and the qualification is conferred on those who leave that program early having completed the required credit points. It is administered within Western Sydney University's Education academic area. Subjects include Technology Assisting Learning, Learning and Teaching in Challenging Contexts, Designing Curriculum Futures, Effective Working Relationships and Disability in Context. Graduates are expected to be able to apply knowledge and skills that are appropriate and evidence-based to create positive learning environments, mindful of students’ well-being and learning outcomes; and critically reflect on practice and appropriate pedagogies and technologies that enhance the learning development of students’ diverse needs, including social, cultural, academic, emotional and physical needs.

Hear From the Students

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
