The Graduate Certificate in Education Studies, articulating into the existing Master of Education Studies is intended for applicants without a 4-year Bachelor of Education and who therefore cannot satisfy entry to the existing Graduate Certificate in Education. The Graduate Certificate in Education Studies therefore creates a pathway to postgraduate study of education via a three-year degree related to education. Prospective students include international students articulating with a 3-year education degree, as well as domestic students progressing to postgraduate education study from related areas including arts, community development and education, and training and professional education variously classified, among others.
