About

Learn today, use tomorrow with our real-world courses.

The Graduate Certificate in Education (Educational Leadership) will help established and emerging leaders to understand themselves and understand how to lead professional learning, activate innovation, and make informed, ethical decisions.

Leaders play a vital role in educational communities. Leaders who know themselves, and how to lead the learning of others, can confidently and purposefully navigate the ambiguous and emergent situations encountered in a constantly changing landscape. In education contexts, this leadership will impact the lives of children, educators and communities for generations. At QUT, leaders are challenged to learn about ways to lead that can create sustainable and socially just educational communities.
