We are passionate about addressing the educational challenges of our time through our teaching and research. Learn from world-class academics to gain practical experience and leadership skills in a supportive environment.

Work with children in schools and early childhood centres and be mentored by experienced teachers. We work with international, national and regional schools and communities combining practical experience with the latest in educational theory. Be ready to teach today and into the future.
Immerse yourself in a different culture and teaching practice when you undertake your placement in rural Australia or overseas. We have relationships with schools across Asia, Europe and the Americas and in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
