The Graduate Diploma of Learning & Teaching in Higher Education is underpinned by a growth model that understands that higher education teachers are learners and that growth requires a scholarly approach. With this in mind, the program has been created so that you can build on the four courses of the Graduate Certificate to earn the Graduate Diploma (eight courses in total). This program enhances your knowledge of the contemporary adult learner and is designed to allow you to continue your studies with the proposed Master’s by coursework or research. You will finish the program with the ability to lead academic colleagues, embed approaches to reconciliation and well-being into your practice, and to create pedagogical research projects.
