Master of Education at University of Canberra

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.

The Graduate Certificate in Academic Foundations (GCAF) offers international students a pathway to further learning in coursework master's degrees initially in the Faculty of Business, Government and Law and the Faculty of Science and Technology (other Faculties may decide to use this pathway later). It is designed for students who have not met the direct entry into coursework Master course academic requirements. It would also be available to domestic students, if required, who gain entry to Master programs based on work experience and have no experience of higher education studies. The GCAF gives students the opportunity to develop and systematically apply academic literacies and research skills in the English language academic environment, and specialised theoretical and technical knowledge in their chosen fields of study or practice. The GCAF requires one semester of full time study.
