Leading the field
We're home to a number of internationally recognised education experts, and at the cutting edge of teaching and research. Research in this field is carried out by the Faculty of Education researchers working to address questions about educational purposes, policies and practices in light of social transformations. The research undertaken here explores new formations of knowledge, identities, social relations and cultural diversity, and how these are shaping and are shaped by education.
Please note: this specialisation is available within the Master of Education, and is not a separate course. The regular Master of Education CRICOS code applies.
