Lead change, drive impact

Studying a Master of Education empowers teachers to lead change, deepen expertise and specialise in areas like leadership, inclusion, trauma-aware practice and more. Flexible, part-time study options and expert-led learning make it ideal for working professionals ready to drive impact in a school environment.

Knowledge that drives real change

'QUT has significantly enhanced my understanding of inclusive education, providing me with the knowledge to support students as well as being able to contribute with evidence-based information during consultations with stakeholders, and other specialists. I believe that every student deserves an education that respects their unique strengths and challenges and my studies at QUT have reinforced this belief, fuelling my passion for inclusive education.'

Ricky Mulcahy
Inclusion support teacher

Balancing work and study

'I love that the Master of Education (School Guidance and Counselling) has been set up for someone that needs to work full-time and study part-time. The course takes the schedule of a working teacher into consideration and plans around that. For example, lectures happen after school hours rather than the middle of the day, which I've really appreciated to help me balance work and study.'

Tessa Hogan
Master of Education (School Guidance and Counselling)

Make positive change

'What motivated me was knowing that embarking on this study would make me better as a leader and put me in a better position to be able to serve my school community. Knowing that I had the expertise around how to best manage change in schools had meant that I was able to bring people with me on a journey, so that we could make some of those changes around positive behaviour.'

Anton Lombardo
Deputy principal

Make positive change

'We're talking about our most vulnerable kids when we're talking about complex trauma and when we can see schools and teachers as having this power where we can intervene and we can help - not only do we help them access learning, but for their entire life, we can really make a positive impact on where they end up in the future.'
