This
course is designed primarily to meet the needs and interests of educational
administrators, teachers, academics, educational service providers and student
support staff engaged in international education at all levels of education. It
would also be of interest to staff training officers from industry and private
providers.
The course is based on the belief that as a new millennium dawns the influences
of new technologies and globalisation are increasing economic and cultural
interpenetration of nations, creating a new 'knowledge economy'. The emergence
of this knowledge economy has profound implications for education's purposes
and organisation. Increasingly, educational institutions are expected to be
self-funding, and in response, many have pursued international educational
markets. This has both challenged current practices and created the need for
the development of new competencies.
This course seeks to provide students with an understanding of the processes of
internationalisation in education, enabling them to develop skills of planning,
managing and evaluating initiatives in international education in ways that are
culturally appropriate, informed and sensitive.
The course is offered through the distance education mode, with support through
regular electronic communication.
To be admitted into this course, students must either have completed a bachelors degree at honours level or have an ordinary degree together with relevant practical experience. There are no formal subject prerequisites. Application forms can be obtained from the Course Inquiries Centre on free call 1800 671 845 or by email at course.inquiries@celts.monash.edu.au
The course consists of four 12-credit point subjects (three core and one elective).
This is a conceptual outline only. It gives a general indication of how the course will progress and is subject to change without notice. Students should consult the course coordinator to assist in planning their program.
All subjects are assessed by assignment work.
