Graduate Certificate in Education Studies (Higher Education)

The GradCertEdStud(Higher Education) is primarily designed to introduce university teachers to current principles, practices, debates and research in higher education.

Candidates are encouraged to develop scholarly, research-led approaches to teaching while engaging in activities and tasks aimed at cultivating critical reflection about higher education.


Entry requirements

All intending participants in the graduate-certificate program must be currently engaged in university teaching.


Course structure

All units of study in this program are offered in partnership with the University's Institute of Teaching and Learning (ITL), which offers a unique, three-tiered program of study, leading to a formal qualification in university teaching.

The four core units of study listed below comprise the graduate certificate. No higher qualification than graduate certificate is available in the specialty "Higher Education" but at the conclusion of the course, students may choose to progress to a general GradDipEdStud or MEd by compiling the remaining units of study required – two and four respectively – from the generalist MEd program.
