Semester 1, Semester 2
The Graduate Certificate in Education is based on principles of active learning and practice-oriented enquiry, informed by professional standards, contemporary theoretical perspectives, and research in teaching and learning. The course is founded on a key value of personal and collective professional responsibility for the improvement of educational outcomes and environments for learning across diverse settings.

The course aims to be relevant and responsive to the needs of people in a range of education-related roles. You will work in collegial ways and communicate effectively across professional settings to initiate and support change in and beyond your immediate spheres of influence.

By the end of the Graduate Certificate of Education, you will have new professional knowledge and an understanding of key research principles and methods. You will be able to critically reflect on and investigate practice and apply new ideas in diverse educational contexts.  You will build the foundational knowledge and skills of rich reflective practice and models for enquiry that can be applied to your work context or specialised area of study to effect change.

We recognise that relationships are fundamental to effective teaching and that the past experiences of students contribute to their capacity for learning.  The PG Coursework Program is therefore taught in flexible mode using adult education principles to enable learning in online and face-to-face environments.

  • 1 Explain how the theoretical foundations and practice of education (including various specialisations) have informed and can facilitate developments in educational practice.
  • 2 Synthesise and analyse scholarly literature to evaluate local and international developments in practice.
  • 3 Integrate educational theory and professional knowledge to plan, implement and evaluate a professional enquiry initiative or conduct a theoretical investigation.
  • Course structure

    The Graduate Certificate of Education requires the completion of 50 credit points. This can be completed with or without a specialisation.
