Its modular design allows students to tailor their education and prioritize deepening their knowledge and skills in particular educational issues while ensuring immersion in broader contemporary educational conversations. The structure provides flexibility for students to balance program engagement with life commitments.

As part of a global community, the experiences in the program focus on self-inquiry and mastery of research literacy, fostering a global perspective on local issues in a collaborative and critical manner.

This is a 90-credit part-time degree that can be completed over several years. Students can apply for exemptions under the Recognition of Prior Learning policy, with a maximum limit of 20 credits claimable. It is possible to take individual modules without completing the full Master's or exit with a Postgraduate Diploma after 60 credits.

Modules are taught on weekday evenings, with slight variations.
