Overview

Master of Teaching (Primary)

This course at QUT will set you on the path to a primary teaching career if you have a bachelor's degree in a course not leading to teacher registration.

The course complements the content knowledge obtained from your previous qualification and the breadth of life and other experiences you can draw on in teaching. 

You will be well prepared for your Professional Experience placements in real school settings, and a supervising teacher in the classroom will also support you.

A future-focused philosophy ensures you’ll have the essential capabilities to be an innovative teacher in the primary classrooms of today and tomorrow. 

Your professional identity will also be developed during the course, and as a graduate, you’ll be prepared to manage classrooms, key relationships, and your well-being.

You will also undertake a primary specialisation in literacy as required by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL). 

The specialisation will enhance your skills in this national area of priority for primary schools.

Professional experience 

QUT organises professional experience placements to allow you to work in various real school classrooms and other settings supervised by practising professional educators.
