The units of study have been grouped together on the basis of a common theme into a number of programs, (eg Educational Psychology or Educational Management and Leadership). You will need to consider where your interests lie as your choice of program will affect the selection of units and the pattern of your candidature.

There are certain guidelines that candidates should follow to make sure that they will qualify for the award of the degree: consideration has to be given to the combination of core and optional units of study.

Core units are the compulsory units that must be completed within the program. They provide the basic knowledge that a candidate will need when undertaking the other units in the program.

Candidates should aim to do at least one core unit in the program of their choice in the first semester of their enrolment. Some programs have two or more core units and require all to be completed in a designated master's degree. The elective units of study enhance the work of the core units and offer candidates choices to specialise within their program area. The Special Project units of study and the Dissertation are regarded as capstone experiences.

If you have any questions regarding the selection of appropriate units or how your candidature is to progress, please do not hesitate to contact the appropriate program convenor or the Postgraduate Coursework Coordinator.

Please note that not all the units listed in the tables are offered every year. For units of study offered in the semester you will be commencing your studies, please refer to timetable presented to you on enrolment day.
