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. The program is aimed at practising professionals working as educators in primary or secondary schools, early childhood, higher education and adult and vocational education.

The coursework option provides a range of courses that will provide opportunities for you to engage with theory and link it directly to practice in your education context.
