Flinders University and Gateway Graduate School Launch Sri Lanka’s First Online Australian Master of Education programme with Local Support
Gateway Graduate School has partnered with Flinders University, one of Australia’s top-ranked institutions, to introduce Sri Lanka’s first fully online Australian Master of Education (M.Ed.) programme. This landmark initiative provides Sri Lankan educators and professionals with direct access to a globally recognised postgraduate qualification delivered through an innovative and flexible learning model.
Ranked among the top 2% of universities worldwide, Flinders University brings its internationally respected expertise in teaching and educational research to Sri Lanka through this exclusive offshore offering.
A Transformative Opportunity for Educators and Training Professionals
The Master of Education is structured to allow students to complete the programme over approximately 1.5 years, through a combination of 100% online coursework and an annual four-day in-person workshop held in Sri Lanka. The qualification comprises 54 units across 12 topics, including a core research component and two specialised minors.
In a significant advancement for accessibility, applicants do not require an undergraduate degree in Education. Individuals with a bachelor’s degree in any discipline are eligible, provided they are engaged in an education or training-related role.
Sri Lankan applicants also benefit from no IELTS/TOEFL/PTE requirement.
Three Specialisations Addressing the Future of Education
Learners can tailor their degree by selecting two minors from three specialisation areas:
- Student Inclusion
- Leadership in Education
- Digital Innovation and Artificial Intelligence in Education
Each stream is aligned with global trends and current workforce needs, equipping graduates with future-ready skills and leadership capabilities.
High-Value International Qualification at an Accessible Cost
The full Master of Education programme is competitively priced. An early-bird bursary of 10% is available for the February 2026 intake, with flexible payment arrangements.
Setting a New Benchmark in Postgraduate Education
Flinders University is rated No. 1 in South Australia for employment outcomes, teaching quality, skills development, and overall student experience in postgraduate Education (Good Universities Guide 2024 – public SA-founded universities). Through its partnership with Gateway Graduate School, Sri Lankan students gain the dual advantage of world-class academic credentials and personalised local support.
Graduates of the programme are well-prepared for roles in:
- School and institutional leadership
- Inclusive education and student wellbeing
- Curriculum design and education policy

- Educational research and academic development
The programme is recognised as the only one of its kind in Sri Lanka, offering Australian university excellence, flexible online learning, and career-focused specialisations at an exceptional value.
