Course structure
The Master of Instructional Leadership requires the completion of 100 credit points of study, which is typically taken over 2 years part time (see details further below for full time option*).
Students must complete:
- 4 compulsory subjects, in the first 50 points of the program; and
- Either the Capstone option or the Research option (conditional upon meeting the eligibility criteria), in the second 50 points of the program.
Capstone Option
Students taking the capstone option must complete:
- 1 compulsory subject (12.5 points)
- 1 elective subject (12.5 points)
- 2 capstone subjects, taken in sequence (25 points)
Electives
The elective may be chosen from the Master of Education (selected from General Electives or Specialisation subjects, and conditional upon meeting subject requisites).
Research Option
The research option is designed for students intending to later pursue a graduate research degree, such as a PhD. The subjects provide a grounding in educational research methodology and include the design and completion of a research project in education.
The research option is only available in the part time program, and students must meet the following eligibility criteria to enrol:
- Attainment of an average of at least H2A (75%) in the first four compulsory subjects (50 points of study).
