COURSE DESCRIPTION
The education sector’s grappling with myriad big-picture issues of critical importance. How should we educate our children to help them thrive in a constantly shifting future? How can teachers inspire students to one day tackle challenges like climate change and food insecurity, without sowing seeds of anxiety?
Our Graduate Certificate in Education equips you to find and implement answers.
What will you do?
Conducted over six months full-time, the program is designed for education and training professionals seeking to develop advanced knowledge and skills in key areas. It’s also ideal for Bachelor of Education graduates seeking deeper insight.
You’ll complete four core courses (12 units worth of study) in one of six highly relevant areas of specialisation:
Educational Leadership and Innovation
Study leadership and management theory in depth and consider how it can be applied to lead positive and sustainable educational change.
Wellbeing
Examine evidence-based approaches to whole-community wellbeing and explore the link between social and emotional health and engaged learning.
Entrepreneurship Education
Explore the rise of ‘21st century skills’-such as entrepreneurship, innovation and design thinking-and their impact in education, schools and education systems.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)

Where could it take you?
You could develop initiatives to improve teacher wellbeing within educational communities. You might explore ways to reduce the incidence of cyber-bullying among student cohorts. Perhaps you’ll head overseas to inspire more women to address the world’s grand challenges through engineering and machine learning. You’ll also have the opportunity to enhance your leadership credentials still further through our Master of Education.
