Current Master of Teaching (Secondary) students: An email has been sent to all eligible students with a survey to express interest in transferring between these courses. Please submit an enquiry if you have any questions. There is no need to submit an application form.

How to apply

1. Review entry requirements and eligibility

Check the entry requirements tab of this course page and ensure you meet the admission criteria.
Review the English language requirements.
Consider whether you are eligible for Graduate Access Melbourne.
If you are applying for multiple courses, ensure you have confirmed your preference order.

Before applying, you must complete the Teacher Capability Assessment Tool (TCAT). TCAT takes approximately 70-90 minutes to complete and contains both long and short answers used to assess your suitability for the Master of Teaching courses.

To ensure your application can be assessed efficiently, please use your legal name (the name on your formal ID such as passport or driver’s license) in your course application and TCAT. Inconsistent information between the two systems can cause a delay in the assessment of your application.

2. Gather your supporting documentation

As part of your application, you’ll be required to submit:

Transcripts and detailed information related to all previous studies you have undertaken and/or completed, including an explanation of the grading system used and official certified English translation of any document that is not written in English. View further information about supporting documentation.
Evidence of meeting the University's English language requirements.

Evidence of completion of the Teacher Capability Assessment Tool (TCAT).

3. Submit your application

To get started, begin your application here.

Only submit one application per course with your preferred fee type and study load (full-time or part-time) if applicable.

Additional application considerations:

Where a course offers both Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) and Australian full fee (AF) places, you only need to submit an application for one fee type. You will automatically be considered for a CSP if you are eligible.

After you apply

All communications related to your application, including requests for additional information and application outcomes, will be sent to the email address you registered for your application. To avoid delays, please upload requested information as soon as possible.

Provided you meet the entry requirements, you will be made a conditional offer for the course.

Please note: you can only receive an unconditional (full) offer for this course on obtaining a teaching position at a partner school, via the process below

This employment process will take place from early September to early November.
The University and/or Department of Education will support eligible applicants to obtain a teaching internship position.
The University partners with government and non-government schools for internship teaching positions.
The University and/or Department of Education will assist by introducing you to partner schools that have a teaching vacancy matching your geographical preference and learning areas*
Schools will invite potential interns for interview and, if successful, you will be offered an internship teaching position.
Only upon successfully obtaining an internship teaching position can you be admitted into this course.
The University and your school will assist you with onboarding tasks, including employment contracts, applying for permission to teach, and enrolling in this course.

*The list of partner schools is confidential. You can indicate your preference for geographical locations once your application has progressed to the school interview stage. Partner schools include government and non-government schools, and you will be able to indicate your preference. You will also be able to disclose if you have an existing relationship with a school where you would like to undertake your internship.

You will have a greater chance of obtaining an internship teaching position if you are flexible with the geographic location where you are placed.
