COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Master of Education by research is directed at practising professionals in a broad range of fields related to education – early childhood, primary, secondary, tertiary, vocational and adult. The course will also meet the needs of other professionals whose work has an educational component or some educational responsibility.
Coursework component leads to a thesis
The first component of the course requires the completion of 50 points of compulsory coursework subjects. You’ll need to achieve an H2A average across these subjects to proceed to the thesis. If the H2A average is not met, you may transfer to the coursework-based Master of Education.
Thesis
In the six months prior to submission of the thesis, you must present your research findings at a public completion seminar attended by your Advisory Committee.
The Master of Education (Research) will give you the ability to evaluate research literature and carry out appropriate research activities, making you a leader in the education profession. The course will give you the knowledge and understanding to be a resource for colleagues in particular professional situations.
