I chose the Master of Education to enhance my skills in the ever changing world of education. It allows me to keep up with current research and learn practical strategies to implement in my classroom. I can transfer knowledge I have obtained to further my teaching and leadership capability at my school. 

UWA has a world famous reputation for providing a comprehensive and well-rounded education. UWA's Master of Education course is interesting and the units are engaging and relevant. I also like the fact that you can select some of your own units of interest if the current structure does not suit your needs and requirements. UWA offers flexible learning options and I was able to study while still maintaining full-time employment and a life!

I am extremely interested in positive education and positive psychology and would eventually like to work in that field. UWA allows me to explore positive psychology in each individual context.
