Fees

The Master of Teaching Honours is HECS based for eligible Australian residents when the program follows the completion of the Master of Teaching Program. Later applications and international students are subject to up-front fees.

Why do Honours in Education?

The Honours program combines research training units with research experience and the chance to become a member of the School of Education research community. The three research training units are: Understanding Educational Research, Education Research Methods and Design, and Education Research Seminar. These units prepare for the task of writing a thesis on a topic negotiated between the student and a Supervisor or Supervisory Panel. The research training helps students formulate research questions, apply suitable research designs to a selected problem, and review literature relating to the intended research project.

The units provide an introduction to the research methods used in educational research. They are practical units where students develop the knowledge and skills to develop research instruments and collect and analyse data with a variety of data collection tools.  An Honours degree offers a pathway for those students who wish to go on to higher degree research.
