Overview

Victoria University’s Faculty of Education offers postgraduate programmes that are tailored specifically for teachers, educational administrators, public servants, researchers and industry educators and trainers.

Our postgraduate qualifications allow students to tailor their study to suit their personal, professional and academic needs. Depending on your area of interest, it may be possible to complete a postgraduate qualification as an online student through Victoria’s Blackboard platform. This uses a mix of technologies to accommodate individual needs and approaches to learning. You can study online or combine online and campus-based courses to suit your own interests and needs. Campus-based classes are held late in the afternoon or as block courses over several days or weekends, allowing you to continue with other commitments.

The postgraduate courses are designed to enable teachers and other educational professionals to engage in further study relevant to their work and undertake thesis research in an area of interest.

The Faculty offers a Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma in Education and Professional Development as well as a Master of Education and a Master of Arts (majoring in Education) which may lead to PhD study.

Credit transfer may be available to students who have completed a postgraduate course from another institution. With approval, the credits may be transferred to a Victoria postgraduate qualification. Contact the Postgraduate Office Manager, email pgeducation@vuw.ac.nz or phone 04-463 9728 for more information.
