Master of Teaching (Secondary) (MC-TEACHSR) // Course structure

Course structure

The first three semesters in the secondary stream, leading to the Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching (Secondary) are built on three strands:

• Professional Practice
• Theory and Practice of Education
• Learning Area Studies

Students undertake 37.5 points in the Professional Practice strand, 50 points in the Theory and Practice of Education strand, 50 points in the Learning Area Studies strand, and one elective subject.

The final fifty points to complete the Master of Teaching (Secondary) will normally be a coherent optional program in itself, but students may also take subjects from the range of Master of Education subjects offered by the Faculty.
