Become a highly-qualified secondary teacher with specialist knowledge in two learning disciplines. With a focus on student-centred learning, the Master of Teaching (Secondary) curriculum brings together theory and practice in a way that will give you powerful insights into young people and how they learn. Benefiting from an extensive network of partner schools across all sectors, you’ll become an active part of a school early in your studies. This allows you to connect what you learn at university with what you learn while teaching, with an unparalleled level of support throughout. The teacher placements you undertake are across a wide variety of schools, giving you a broad experience of different types of education settings.

During the Master of Teaching (Secondary) course, you will develop the skills to become a confident and highly-effective secondary school teacher. Early on in your course, you will become an active member of a school in your first semester. This means you will connect what you learn at university with what you learn in the classroom. The Master of Teaching will help you develop your interventionist educational skills. You'll develop the professional skills to assess, diagnose and support the individual learning needs of all students, and work with learners of all abilities.
