Graduate Certificate in Education (Tertiary Education)

The purpose of this program is to provide participants with contemporary learning and teaching practices to complement the industry and/or research expertise they bring to the higher education setting.

The intended learning outcomes of the GCETE are framed within the seven criteria of the Australian University Teaching Criteria and Standards Framework.

The program content provides a foundation on which to develop quality pedagogies, in a range of tertiary teaching environments, supported by evidence, research and scholarly practice.

Learning activities and assessments support the creation of contemporary and relevant learning and teaching practices for use in your current and future courses.

Examples include:
