Victoria Rawlings - PhD

Victoria is completing her Doctor of Philosophy (Education) which focuses on a phenomenological study of anti-homophobia practices in schools.

“Sydney Uni has such an incredible national and international reputation, which makes me feel that my efforts will be valued when I finish. I receive heaps of support and guidance from the faculty and it is fabulous being in such a dynamic and diverse research community. The resources that you can draw from Sydney Uni are endless, and provide a perfect environment to challenge yourself and excel.”

Gerry - Coursework

Gerry is studying his Masters of Learning Science & Technology and works as a project manager and instructional designer for an e-learning company.

“I wanted a qualification that was designed for professionals in the e-learning field and this qualification gave me the opportunity to focus on coursework or research.
If you are involved in e-learning or want to move into the field, this course is exactly what you are looking for and will take your thinking and understanding to the next level!"

Annette – Coursework

Annette wanted to change career directions from teaching to technology-based education design. She is now studying her Masters of Learning Science & Technology, and working as an e-learning designer for higher education.

“There are so many prevailing myths about how people learn and how technology should be used for learning. This course on “how people learn with technology” dispels many of these myths with evidence based on scientific research.”

Daniel - Masters

Daniel Brooks is from Sheffield in England and is currently studying BTeach/ MTeach (Secondary: Geography/Economics)

"The University of Sydney and the Faculty of Education and Social Work are really supportive environments. There is a really good mix of people enrolled on the BTeach/ MTeach in terms of age, which means that it’s not intimidating for those coming to teaching a little later in their career."

Martha – Masters

Martha is currently studying her Masters of Education.

"What really convinced me to choose Sydney were the people in the Faculty of Education and their advice and enthusiasm in helping me work out what I could achieve. And that enthusiasm for teaching and learning is what is so good about my course."
