Primary Teacher (STEM)
Worongary State School
The Master of Teaching program provided me with a comprehensive overview of the skill set required by a primary school teacher.

Graduate profile

After a 15-year career in another industry, Tim felt it was time to move in a new direction and decided to return to study. Seeing the amazing work being done by teachers at his own children's school, he decided to pursue a teaching career, and after investigating a number of courses at different institutions, he chose to complete the Master of Teaching (Primary) at UQ.

Upon graduating, Tim was immediately employed as a Year 4 teacher, leading a diverse cohort of students with a wide range of strengths and abilities.

‘As a new teacher, this proved to be a challenging role. But I felt well prepared thanks to the excellent tutors and lecturers at UQ. The Master of Teaching program provided me with a comprehensive overview of the skill set required by a primary school teacher. Whether I was teaching fractions or functional grammar or implementing a digital technologies program, I would find myself drawing on the experience and advice of my lecturers.’
