Programme summary

Gain the knowledge and skills to take on increased leadership responsibility within a range of education settings. Gain fresh insight and stimulation, and develop the tools you need to take your educational leadership and management practice to the next level.

Do you want to advance your career in the education sector, but can’t commit to long-term study? The Postgraduate Certificate in Educational Leadership and Management delivers professional learning for current and aspiring leaders in all education sectors and agencies. It gives you the skills to enhance learning and teaching – whether directly or indirectly. You explore both theory and practice at an advanced level, and learn in a supportive environment from lecturers who are experts in their field.

Highlights

  • A strong focus on professional practice.
  • A contemporary and academically sound form of in-depth professional development that ensures your learning is relevant to your career and to today’s education environment.
  • A chance to share knowledge and experience with other education professionals.
  • Academic staff with a wealth of experience in practical and research settings in public and private educational organisations.
  • A combination of intensive on-campus study (held during nationally recognised non-teaching breaks) and open learning.
  • Part-time or full-time study options available.
  • Cross-credits towards the Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Leadership and Management or the Master of Educational Leadership and Management.

Entry into the Development Issues course should be discussed with the Programme Leader first.
