My Flinders degree has prepared me with the knowledge and skills that are appropriate to my field of Special Education. The exceptional and dedicated lecturers and the resources offered greatly supported my needs as a teacher and trainer to gain in-depth knowledge on teaching people with a disability. Since graduating I am now in charge of training for special education teachers in South East Asia and I am also leading two projects on developing a school model for children with multiple disabilities.
As a full-time Director and Teacher, flexibility was extremely important when choosing my Masters degree. With only a few key deadlines and no set class times (e.g. lectures), I studied at my own pace and when it suited me. Flinders Library also offers a ‘Send It’ service so any books that I needed were couriered out to me within a day or so. Teachers were easily accessed and very responsive, while the online community was a fantastic place to connect with like-minded educators.
The Master of Education (M.Ed) at Flinders University was an ideal way to take my teaching and educational leadership skills to the next level. This included both consolidating existing and developing further knowledge and abilities in curriculum development, assessment practices, and in leadership and management. In addition, the M.Ed allows you to choose from a broad range of face-to-face or online topics, either full or part-time, that both suit your professional needs and understand that educators need to fit study around school and family commitments.
Most postgraduate applications are made through the South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC).
Many of our postgraduate courses are nested, meaning you have flexible entry and exit points. So if you enrol in a Masters and do not complete it – but do complete the nested Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma – you may exit with that qualification.
You may also be eligible for credit towards your course depending on your prior skills, experience and study.
