Overview

The Education coursework at University of Otago is an integral and constitutive part of the thesis research of the degree.

The thesis should give evidence that the candidate has the ability to carry out research, has shown originality and independence, and has made a significant contribution to knowledge in their particular profession.

Features

A research to practice portfolio consisting of evidence documenting the connection between the candidate’s research and practice and how the research has informed and enhanced practice should be submitted as part of the thesis.

It is expected that some of the work in the thesis would be worthy of publication. The programme should be of a kind which a diligent and competent student might reasonably be expected to complete within six years of part-time study.

Programme Structure

Coursework

The coursework shall be examined by three examiners: one from outside New Zealand and two internal examiners from the College of Education.

In appropriate cases, examiners with special expertise in Māori matters shall be appointed instead of or in addition to the normal categories of examiners.
