A specialisation is a focused collection of courses within a programme that allows you to gain deep, targeted knowledge in a specific sub-field. Normally these courses make up more than 50 percent of a qualification, some of which lead to registration within a certain field. They may be interdisciplinary, professionally oriented, or designed to meet accreditation requirements. Specialisations often restrict elective choice in favour of a clearly defined study plan.

Completed specialisations will appear on your academic transcript.

High-quality Mathematics Education informs education, science, technology and engineering. As well as ensuring a numerate, highly skilled society, Mathematics Education provides the foundation for teaching young people important skills in logic, critical and creative thinking, problem solving, seeking evidence and analysing data.
Mathematics Education is essential for making sure mathematics is more widely understood and that students are inspired to pursue mathematical-based subjects and careers.
Mathematics Education courses cover:
- An understanding of the theory underpinning Mathematics Education
- The socio-cultural, political, economic and technological background to Mathematics Education
- The Mathematics curriculum from early years, through to primary, secondary and higher education
- Practical teaching skills, strategies and techniques
- Research into Mathematics Education and how people learn

PhD - Doctor of Philosophy

We welcome PhD proposals in areas including:
- Meaningful learning in mathematics
- Mathematics lecturing and teaching
- Design of mathematical resources
- Emerging research knowledge in mathematics education.
