Overview

The Master of Teaching (Junior Primary/Primary) builds on prior learning and develops advanced professional knowledge, practice and relationship skills relevant to teaching.

This course is offered to graduates who wish to teach at the primary/junior primary school level. 

It includes education studies, curriculum studies and teaching practicum.

You can also choose from the following strands:

• Language: if you wish to teach languages and have the necessary pre-requisites.

A research strand is available in the 2nd year to students with outstanding academic records.
