The Graduate Certificate in Higher Education is designed to equip teachers in
higher education institutions for the rapidly changing teaching and learning
environment in which they operate. It seeks to encourage a scholarly and
professional approach to university teaching. Upon completing the course,
participants should be able to demonstrate knowledge and competence in the
following areas: designing a teaching program, using a range of teaching
methods, designing and applying assessment strategies and providing student
support. Participants should also be able to demonstrate the application of the
above knowledge and competencies to their discipline or professional area.
Currently the course is available only to staff members at Monash.
Participants must have a first degree and be actively engaged in teaching in a higher education institution and have email and Internet access.
Note that HED5001 is a prerequisite for all other subjects. HED5001, HED5002 and HED5003 are prerequisites for HED5004. 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 course coordinators to assist in planning their program.
This course is equivalent to one semester of full-time study but will normally be taken as part-time study over two semesters. The expected number of hours per week for a part-time student is 24.
