Overview

The Master of Education (Honours) is intended for those who wish to pursue advanced research in one of the areas of Faculty expertise.

Career options

Career options include management-level positions in industry or government, and academic positions.

Articulation

This course can also serve as a pathway into higher research degrees (PhD, EdD) if the student's research project and progress are considered acceptable at the Master's assessment.

Additional admission requirements

Entry to the MEd(Hons) is by direct admission or through a 'research pathway' from the Master of Education (Coursework) (C04232).

Direct admission requires the minimum of a Bachelor's degree, preferably with Honours or its equivalent, and demonstrated adequate prior research experience.

Entry from the Master of Education (Coursework) is based on demonstrated research potential in the research subjects and the completion of preparatory work for the thesis in consultation with a potential supervisor.

Course duration and attendance

The maximum course duration is two years of full-time, or three years of part-time study.

Students can complete in less than the maximum time.

Course structure

The program comprises research coursework, participation in Faculty research seminars and a thesis of 50,000 words.

The coursework component consists of the two 6-credit-point research subjects currently offered in the Master of Education.

The thesis work of MEd(Hons) candidates is generally closely related to the research interests of supervising members of staff in the Faculty's areas of research strength.
