Master of Science Education - Research
Overview
This course meets professional learning needs for Science teachers in NSW and is accessible by flexible mode. It may also be appropriate for other teachers or international students with suitable qualifications and experience. It is research-based to deal with contemporary issues associated with Science education and practices.
