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.
The course consists of two 12-credit point subjects.

Students should consult course coordinators to assist in planning their
program.
Students may exit the course after the completion of the core subject and one
of the other three subjects with the award of a Postgraduate Certificate of
Education (International Education).
Students who successfully complete two subjects in the Postgraduate Certificate
of Education (International Education) may apply to transfer to the
Postgraduate Diploma of Education ( International Education). Students may also
apply to transfer to the Master of Education (International Education) provided
their qualifications meet the eligibility criteria for that course prior to
