Graduate Certificate in Education Studies

About

The Graduate Certificate in Education Studies, articulating into the existing Master of Education Studies is intended for applicants without a 4-year Bachelor of Education and who therefore cannot satisfy entry to the existing Graduate Certificate in Education. The Graduate Certificate in Education Studies therefore creates a pathway to postgraduate study of education via a three-year degree related to education.

Prospective students include international students articulating with a 3-year education degree, as well as domestic students progressing to postgraduate education study from related areas including arts, community development and education, and training and professional education variously classified, among others.

Note: this course is not externally accredited and, therefore, it is not recognised as a teaching qualification in Australia. If you are looking to transition into a teaching
career, UC offers a selection of suitable postgraduate courses.

Admission criteria

Applicants must have:

• Completed Bachelor degree* or equivalent in education; or
• Completed Bachelor degree* in any field and a Graduate Diploma (AQF8) in Education; or
• Completed Bachelor degree* or equivalent in any field and four years of work experience in education or a relevant field as approved by the University.
  
  *Applicants with an assessable qualification that is lower than AQF 7 will be considered under equivalent graduate status where employment experience will be assessed in combination with your academic qualification.
