LEARNING TO CHANGE COMMUNITIES
We give you the skills and knowledge to make a difference in your community and organisation.
“My time at CDU taught me more than I ever imagined. I could be creative and explore
my ideas about global education. Then think about implementing them.”
The Master of Education (International) course can be completed full time over 1 year but can be also be taken part time to suit student’s needs. The course allows students to explore their own areas of research interest across all units and is designed to provide a strong base in research skills. Study options include:
Professional developmentThis option gives you the opportunity to update knowledge and skills through core and specialist units and then three project units. The units offer you the flexibility to produce three individual projects or link them up to produce a larger portfolio of work. Students are encouraged to explore areas of interest and work with supervisors who provide expertise in that area. Past projects include:
� a literature review on wellbeing
� mentoring teachers in Philippine school systems
� conducting a discourse analysis of ESL policy
� cultural stresses faced by international students
Internship
This option gives you hands-on experience working with an organisation to achieve its educational goals. After completing the core units, students negotiate to complete a research issue determined by the organisation they are working with. Organisations include but are not limited to: schools; universities; private education providers; hospitals; and NGOs. These organisations can be based in Australia or internationally. Examples of internship projects include:
� incorporating music therapy into classroom teaching
� exploring multicultural policies in early childhood education
� investigating research capacity building in Philippines universities
ThesisThis option is designed for those who wish to gain experience doing an intensive research project or those who wish to pursue a PhD. As a full time or part time enrolment, students develop a project based on their own research interests. This produces a substantial piece of written work, which is externally examined. Examples of topics include:
� understandings of Indigenous bilingual education
� leadership styles in Cambodian higher education
� migrant experiences of immigration to Australia
� the implementation of Mother tongue policy in the Philippines
