The Master of Education Programme prepares teachers in our country. There are opportunities to gain expertise in learning areas such as The Arts, the Middle Years, ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and Physical Education. There is also an opportunity to gain expertise in early childhood education leading to a primary–early childhood qualification.

Programme Focus:
The Mater of Education award is offered in two forms, an undesignated Master of Education and a variety of designated specializations. It is intended for both infants/primary and secondary teachers who wish to upgrade their qualifications to four year degree status, and for other educators, educational administrators, or those with an interest in education who wishes to obtain an educational qualification with the possibility of specializing in one of several designated areas of expertise.

Career Opportunities:
In recent years, the opportunity to acquire full-time work in the teaching profession has increased dramatically. With many teachers approaching retirement age in the next few years, career prospects are very good for new teachers.
Students who believe they have the qualities and desire to work in educational settings, and are prepared to accept the responsibilities and challenges of a teacher should consider this program.
Teachers are involved in analyzing learners’ needs, designing, implementing and evaluating specific programs, and liaising with parents, employers, professional colleagues and others interested in the education sector.
A key role is to foster the development of positive attitude towards learning and an ongoing desire to continue with lifelong learning.
The program prepares graduates to confidently approach the challenges of an increasingly diverse profession.
