EDMST6131 Gifted and Talented Education

This course provides a framework for educators to understand giftedness and the practices associated with gifted education in the school context from both a theoretical and practice-based perspective. It provides opportunities for critically reflective appraisal of the current literature and research relating to identifying and teaching highly able students from a national and international perspective. It supports critical examination of current understandings and practices relating to educating gifted and talented students. Practical application of new understandings are fostered through the assessment tasks. A particular focus of the course is on development of differentiated curricula to engage all ability levels and gifted students in particular.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
