Master of Primary Teaching
Are you a graduate who would like to become a primary school teacher? This Master of Primary Teaching will allow you to teach in public, independent and Catholic schools across Australia. The program is highly flexible and will therefore suit the needs of students who have work and family commitments, with many classes taught in the evenings and on weekends.
Why study this degree?
Completed over eighteen months of full-time study (2yr FTE), our Master of Primary Teaching is aimed at students who already hold a Bachelor’s degree but wish to gain the required skills and knowledge to become a primary school teacher. You are probably already aware of Notre Dame’s excellent reputation for producing job-ready graduates and this Master's program is an excellent example, with students spending a total of 14 weeks working in a classroom setting.
We have designed this degree program so that you can combine your studies with existing work and family commitments. Most of the classes at our Broadway site are taught in the evenings or on weekends.
Regardless of what you studied for your Bachelor’s degree, this Master's program provides a solid pedagogical grounding for your future career in teaching. Over the course of your studies, you will study subjects such as English, history, science, mathematics, technology and geography as well as learning the fundamentals of research methodology in Year Two.
In addition, you will be required to enrol in and pay to sit the National Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students (LANTITE). Students must pass both the literacy and numeracy components of the test before they progress to Year Two of this program.
Please note: this award is fully accredited by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA).
