Master of Teaching (Secondary) Internship (MC-TEACHSI) // Course structure

Course structure

The Master of Teaching (Secondary) Internship requires completion of 200 points of study (13 subjects) over two years of full-time study.

The course is structured around four campus-based Study Intensives supplemented by academic study conducted across the year online. Subjects should be taken in the sequence by the year outlined in the Subject Options.

ALL INTERNS MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING COURSE PROGRESSION REQUIREMENT:

The Australian Commonwealth Government’s Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students (the Test) is administered by the Australian Council for Educational Research (independently of The University of Melbourne).

Each Teacher Candidate must satisfactorily complete the Test by the end of the first calendar year of their enrolment in the Master of Teaching (Secondary) Internship. This is necessary in order for each Teacher Candidate to continue beyond the first calendar year of their course.

Failure to satisfactorily complete the Test by this progression point will result in referral to the Melbourne Graduate School of Education’s Course Academic Progress Committee and may result in exclusion from the course. Excluded Teacher Candidates may be granted an early exit award of a Graduate Diploma in Pedagogy (Secondary) Internship* (subject to satisfactory completion of relevant subjects). Alternatively they may be withdrawn from the course.

*Note that the Graduate Diploma in Pedagogy (Secondary) Internship is not a qualification for registration to teach in schools.
