About the course
The Master of Education (Research) provides advanced training in education research and is designed for students who want a shorter research degree than a PhD. You’ll undertake a supervised research project with the option of some coursework, building skills in research design and academic writing. It can serve as preparation for doctoral study or research-focused roles in the education sector as a Master by research in Education & Teaching. The programme enhances curriculum leadership, pedagogical innovation, and educational policy understanding for professional educators.
Career outcome
Graduates may pursue research-focused roles across schools, universities, government and education-related organisations, supporting evidence-informed policy and practice. The degree can also strengthen eligibility for further doctoral study and academic pathways. Possible directions include education researcher, research assistant/officer, policy or evaluation roles, and specialist positions within education programs and community initiatives as a Master by research in Education & Teaching.
