Master of Learning and Teaching (Secondary)

• Completed a 3-year bachelor degree, or equivalent, in a discipline other than education with a minimum GPA of 4.0 out of 7.0.
• Applicants are accepted into the Master of Learning and Teaching (Secondary) based on their discipline studies from their academic transcript and qualifications, i.e. in relation to vocational education areas. For secondary teaching in two teaching areas, applicants must have studied six units that are relevant to a major teaching area and at least another four units that are relevant to a contrasting subject area or a different discipline area. The secondary discipline studies requirements can be met through further study that is completed from different courses at bachelor degree level or higher.
• While not a requirement for admission, students need to pass the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) prior to the final supervised professional experience placement and to graduate from this degree. Students can register for the LANTITE through the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). If an applicant has achieved a 'satisfactory' result for one or more components of the LANTITE at another institution, the 'satisfactory' result can be carried across with this admission application.

Non-academic entry requirements

• Complete a questionnaire and provide written statements to address the key competencies of effective teachers. The criteria for selection includes capabilities such as motivation to teach, suitability for the teaching profession, learning activities and leadership responsibilities. Refer to the selection guidelines for initial teacher education courses. 

Recognition of prior learning or work experience

You may be eligible for recognition of prior learning if you have previously studied or have relevant work experience. This will help to reduce the number of courses that you need to study to finish your program.
