Overview

To support the further development of knowledge of current theory and research in higher education, the Institute of Higher Education Research and Development (IHERD) offers a fully articulated Postgraduate Program in Higher Education.

The Program has three areas of specialisation:

• Learning and Teaching
• e-Learning
• Leadership and Management

Further information on each specialisation is available from IHERD Website.

Program Delivery

The program is offered in both fully external and internal modes.

Articulation

Participants in the Postgraduate Program who successfully complete the requirements of the Postgraduate Certificate may articulate with advanced standing into the relevant Postgraduate Diploma or Masters program.

Participants of the Foundations in e-Learning and Teaching Program (FIeLT), offered to Macquarie University staff by the Centre for Professional Development, have the opportunity to articulate into the IHERD Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (Learning and Teaching or e-Learning specialisations), with credit for the unit EHE904. In addition to completing all the requirements set out in FIeLT, those wishing to articulate will be required to undertake additional readings, construct a teaching portfolio and complete a 2,000 word assignment.

Fees, Admission, and Enrolment

Staff of Macquarie University will be given a full fee waiver (tuition and Student Activities Fees) for the three core units of the Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education, providing they have not already been granted a fee waiver towards any other course of study while a staff member at Macquarie University.

Those staff who wish to continue their studies and enroll in either of the Postgraduate Diploma or Masters programs will be required to pay the normal HECS charges and Student Activities Fees associated with each additional unit.
