Become a teacher with AUT’s Master of Teaching and Learning, a one-year professional qualification for students with a bachelor’s degree who want to work as an early childhood or primary/intermediate teacher.
This one-year intensive programme runs longer than the standard academic year, with courses totalling 180 points. The difference between this master’s degree and the postgraduate diploma is a 30-point research course in your second semester.
Specialise in either early childhood or primary teaching, and study courses focusing on curriculum and education theory. You’ll also complete teaching practicums in an early childhood setting or a primary/intermediate classroom.
After completing the Master of Teaching and Learning you can apply for provisional registration with the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand.

A degree with an education focus is not required, although undergraduate study in education courses will be an advantage. Relevant work experience in teaching is not a requirement, but some experience with 0–5-year-olds (early childhood education) or 5-12 year olds (primary/intermediate) will be important to provide evidence of suitability to work in this profession.
*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
