About

The Master of Education Extension (Educational Leadership) is for people who are currently in educational leadership roles or who wish to pursue leadership positions in educational settings such as schools, early childhood, higher education and vocational education.

During this degree you will gain extensive practical skills and an advanced theoretical understanding of educational leadership and management, and learn how to apply this to your practice as an educator. You will enhance your skills in areas such as mentoring new educators, managing curricula and assessment, supporting staff development, and leading organisational change. Throughout this degree you will build the skills to investigate and solve complex issues in a rapidly changing educational climate. You will also complete four electives and conduct an individualised research project that aligns with your work and interests.

You will also benefit from flexible study options, allowing you to study online or in the classroom. This extended program allows you to complete an additional specialisation in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
