Our Master of Education (Teacher Librarianship) gives you the practical skills and specialist knowledge to excel in a variety of teacher librarian and information management roles. You could work as a teacher librarian in public or private schools across Australia or take up a position in a public, TAFE or academic library. Other roles include information services manager, leader in digital resourcing in education organisations, leader in e-research and digital services, or strategic leader in information policy and education practice. The degree also provides opportunities to work overseas particularly in international schools running International Baccalaureate programs.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
