Primary teachers have the opportunity to make a significant impact in the lives of young people. If you’re switching to teaching mid-career with prior qualifications, or simply continuing with study following a first degree, the Master of Teaching will equip you to become an effective educator.
If you already hold a degree in another discipline, a Master of Teaching (Primary) will qualify you to become a teacher in primary schools in Australia and overseas
You’ll enjoy Eastern’s unique emphasis on the significant positive contribution a Christian worldview can bring to education, and you’ll gain a broad understanding of teaching theory and practices.
Studying at Eastern fits easily into your life with our flexible courses, supportive culture and effective modes of delivery and teaching.
The Master of Teaching (Primary) is accredited by the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) using the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. This means that these qualifications will be accepted for school teacher registration in Victoria and all other Australian states and territories.
To teach in a Victorian school, graduates must be registered with Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT). Students who plan to register and work as a school teacher in Australia or overseas should check registration requirements with other local teacher regulatory bodies in case additional requirements apply.
