At the core of the course is a graduate who is educated to:

- Have a capacity to operate inclusively in highly diverse contexts, e.g. educational systems
- Have curricular and pedagogical competence which would enable the student to contribute effectively to educational and learning contexts
- Be appropriately collaborative and team focussed on a community of learners

Graduates will also be highly sought after in the industry training sector, and will be suited to communication-based jobs, public relations and other sectors that value graduates with well-developed problem-solving, communication and critical thinking skills.
