Learn to engage with curriculum development.
The Graduate Certificate in Professional Learning offers practising educators, those seeking employment, and educators returning to the workforce, a series of learning opportunities to engage in a critical orientation to professional learning. It brings educators together in a collaborative learning community to enhance their leadership and engagement in curriculum development, evaluation, teaching, learning and assessment. To further your studies, the Graduate Certificate articulates into the Master of Education (coursework option), and you may apply the units completed to the higher award.
The Master of Education offers you the opportunity to develop advanced knowledge and understanding in education, research skills, and a strong foundation for furthering your career as an educational professional.
