Graduate Certificate and Masters in Educational Studies (Boys' education)
Our postgraduate programs will change the way you work with boys!
The Boys in Schools Program offers both a Graduate Certificate and a Masters Program specialising in educating boys. These programs are the first in Australia for practising teachers who wish to develop their professional expertise in educating boys in various settings: primary, secondary, single-sex or co-educational schools.
The programs are available by distance mode through the School of Education at the University of Newcastle, and are delivered by the staff of the Boys in Schools Program. This means you can upgrade you skills and specialise in educating boys, no matter where you teach.
The practical design of these courses means that you will make positive changes for boys in your schools as you progress through the course. Please follow the links below for further details on programs and enrolment details.
