Generalist Master of Education
The Melbourne Graduate School of Education (MGSE) strives to meet the needs of all education professionals by offing a diverse range of programs in many different areas.
To provide a more consistent experience for our Masters students many of these programs have now been incorporated into one new generalist Master of Education. The new program offers the same areas of specialisation and flexibility that the MGSE is known for but in a simplified and streamlined format.
Streamlining the program means you will have more in common with other MGSE students as you will build your academic foundation studying the same core subjects. Each subject is worth the same number of points making it easier to plan your studies.
