The
Postgraduate Diploma of Education (International Education) 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 ëknowledge economyí.
The emergence of this knowledge economy has profound implications for
educationís 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 off-campus learning mode, with support
through regular electronic communication.
