School of Education
There has never been a better time to consider postgraduate study. Deakin's postgraduate education courses have been developed for professional educators looking for a qualification that will offer excellent career prospects by advancing their qualifications and knowledge, and allowing them the opportunity to become better teachers.
The Faculty of Arts and Education at Deakin offers a comprehensive range of courses in teacher education, vocational education and training, community education and life-long learning. In 2004 the Faculty enrolled 4,107 students (the equivalent of 1970 full-time student enrolments). Deakin University 's Master of Education is the largest government-supported Masters in Australia . The M Ed has been offered at Deakin University for over twenty years and currently has over 400 students studying in off campus mode in Australia and overseas.
Our courses cover key issues, concepts and knowledge required by professional teachers. Practising teachers and principals have been consulted about the development of the course content and assessment tasks to make sure they are relevant and useful for teachers. The courses have an increasing international orientation.
Deakin courses are genuinely flexible making it possible for you to fit your studies around your work and personal commitments. Students have access to Deakin Studies Online, a web based learning management system that includes web-based learning resources, email, chat groups and on-line tutorials. All students enrolled with Deakin receive the Deakin Learning Toolkit, which contains all the latest versions of software to support computer communication. As a Deakin postgraduate student you will become part of a network of researchers, academics and practitioners.
