Basis of extension

Assume that q is a power of a prime number. Consider the field extension FqFqn . Both fields can be thought as subfields of the algebraic closure of Fp, defined with

K=GF(p).algebraic_closure()

The question is: Is it possible to compute a basis of Fqn over Fq ? Or at least to have something in the spirit of

K.<x1,...,xn>=GF(q)[]

which can be done when q is prime?
