Graduate Diploma of Education


Overview

Course graduates may prepare for or extend their careers in the following employment contexts in education or training: TAFE, tertiary, clinical, community, industry and post-compulsory education.

While the course is designed to develop skills applicable to a wide range of occupations and retraining opportunities (such as leadership, organisation, communication), specific programs enable specialisation in a particular employment or professional context.

Students may also be eligible to transfer to other courses offered by the Department of Vocational Education and Training. Please contact the office of the Academic Registrar at the Hawthorn Campus, Telephone: 98103316 for details.

Students in Program Two spend three days a week undertaking professional and academic studies, and two days a week in the school to which they have been appointed. This is a full time course of study. Students in Program Three attend evening classes and teach in their particular context as appropriate.

This program is a part time course of study. The practicum component of the course will comprise a minimum of 45 days supervised practice teaching in an approved setting.

The program may be undertaken either full-time or part-time.

You must arrange your own placement in an approved institution, with an approved supervisor or mentor to undertake the subject 'Practicum'.
