Graduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Studies in Education

Overview

This new program provides the opportunity for students to combine studies in a number of the specialist postgraduate areas of the Faculty, and also to explore issues in the foundation areas of Educational Psychology and Sociology.

The Graduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Studies can also be used as a pathway for entry into the MEd for students who do not have the four year teaching degree required for Masters entry.

These subjects may form a major study in a Master of Education program, and are also available to students from any major area of study as elective subjects to complement the major area of study. All subjects in this specialisation are delivered to comply with the Federal Government National Code requirements for international students (ie at least 75% face-to-face delivery).

Entry Requirements

Entry is available to candidates who satisfy the University's entry requirements for Graduate Certificates (i.e. a three year degree or equivalent).

Credit Transfer

Students who wish to continue onto the MEd may transfer up to 24 credit points for subjects completed in a Graduate Certificate program, provided the candidate has not formally graduated with the Graduate Certificate award and these subjects are over and above the MEd entry requirements. If the candidate has formally received the Graduate Certificate, up to 12 credit points of credit may be granted towards the MEd, provided MEd entry requirements are met.

Course Program

Subjects chosen from the list below to total 24 credit points.

Additional subjects for this specialisation may be drawn from other specialisations but must be approved by the Director of Graduate Teaching.
