What you will learn

Our Graduate Diploma and Master of Mathematics Education programs are designed to retrain accredited teachers from other disciplines in mathematics as a teaching area. Live online classes provide the opportunity to learn from lecturers and peers as role models of excellent teaching practice, network, ask questions and gain expert advice. The programs enable teachers to develop deep and flexible content knowledge in pure and applied tertiary-level mathematics. They also give teachers the opportunity to develop their mathematics pedagogy and enhance their capacity to engage their students to work mathematically to solve challenging, real-world problems across the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).


For future head, highly accomplished or lead teachers of mathematics, the Master of Mathematics Education will build capacity for research, data-informed teaching and leadership. Qualified secondary mathematics teachers are in high demand across Australia. This program will improve your expertise and career prospects.
