Study teaching with Australia's leading university for education.

Training to become a teacher at Melbourne is a unique experience. We are the only university in Australia that applies a clinical model of education, bringing together theory and practice in a way that gives you powerful insights into children and young people and how they learn.

Through our innovative curriculum, you will develop the professional skills to create high-impact learning environments and work with learners of all abilities to identify and support their individual learning needs as they evolve over time. We are known for producing some of the best teachers in the country and around the world.

We take a holistic approach to teaching, recognising the role teachers play in supporting the emotional, social, ethical, and academic needs of children and young people. We will equip you with important skills such as establishing safe learning environments, promoting positive behaviours to nurture wellbeing, and encouraging future generations to adopt an ecological mindset through sustainable practices.

In the final year of the masters courses, candidates undertake a professional learning experience, deeply exploring an area of learning of their choice. This includes placements relevant to their chosen topic, which can be done in schools or early childhood centres as well as in non-education settings such as hospitals, museums, art galleries and more. This experience provides an opportunity for reflection and growth that aligns with the continuous professional learning approach in teaching practice.
