Flinders University M.Ed Fees, Eligibility, Admission & Deadlines

The Master of Education is an in-depth coursework program that allows students to create individual programs to suit their interests and thus shape their own educational pathways. The program is designed to meet the increasing demand for professional development for educators across a diverse range of specialisations. 

Students need to refer to the specific admission requirements for some specialisations. 

The Master of Education is a 72-unit program offered by the College of Education, Psychology and Social Work on campus and in distance mode. 

Students may tailor a program to meet their own needs or elect to complete a specialised program of study. The specialisation will be identified on the student’s transcript of academic record and on the parchment presented to the student on completion of the course.

A Master of Education (Special Education) prepares you to support individuals with a range of special educational needs in mainstream classrooms. This course highlights three distinct streams: Autism, Mental Health and Learning. These address the challenges and issues faced by mainstream teachers in mainstream educational practice and fills a much-needed gap in professional development for teachers in the field.

This degree delivers advanced professional learning for teachers and those with a professional involvement in education including school bursars, school development officers and training personnel. It will help you develop greater expertise in educational practice or research and can contribute to current teachers' professional development requirements.
