Course Overview

The Master of Teaching (Secondary) at Monash University — a Group of Eight university consistently ranked #1 in Australia and among the world's top institutions for education (QS by subject) — is a professional qualifying degree that leads to registration as a secondary school teacher. Over two years, graduates build teaching methods in their subject areas, complete extensive supervised professional placements in Victorian schools, and study educational psychology, assessment, and inclusive practice. It is accredited for teacher registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT).

For Sri Lankan graduates with a strong subject background — sciences, mathematics, English, languages, humanities — this is a direct route into the teaching profession in Australia, where qualified secondary teachers (especially in STEM) are in ongoing demand and appear on skilled occupation lists. Graduates are eligible for Australia's Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) for 2–3 years of post-study work, with a realistic PR pathway. The qualification is also highly regarded for international-school teaching across Asia and the Gulf.
