The Master of Teaching is designed to develop students' capacity to
systematically analyse, develop and extend their practice, link theory to
practise, innovate and devise new solutions to problems of professional
practice. It is also designed to develop students' confidence and skills to
communicate and share good practice with others.
This course is designed for teachers or lecturers who are interested in developing high levels of mastery of their professional practice as well as for teachers or lecturers interested in action-research or in building on a current involvement in innovative practice.
In
general terms, to be eligible for admission applicants must hold either an
approved three-year bachelors degree and an approved fourth year of study or an

Students taking the course will normally be in full-time or substantial
part-time employment in schools or other educational institutions. Other
