Graduate Diploma in Learning Sciences and Technology

The Graduate Diploma in Learning Sciences and Technology is intended to meet the needs of future and current e-learning professionals, working in both the government and education sectors who are seeking to advance their careers in the field of e-learning or technology-supported learning.



You will complete core units of study introducing you to the learning sciences, educational design methodologies, innovative practice and emerging ICT, and a systems view of learning and change. You will then pursue a pathway of either professional or research elective study.



The professional pathway will appeal to you if you're looking to work as a learning and development manager, an instructional designer, a multimedia learning designer or a learning strategist.



The research pathway will suit you if you want to conduct research in ICT-supported learning or if you're planning to progress to a higher degree by research. If you pursue the research pathway, you'll complete a dissertation (12 credit points) on a topic chosen in consultation with your supervisor.



Subject to meeting progression requirements in the Graduate Diploma, you may apply to transfer to the Master of Learning Sciences and Technology.
