If you are a teacher or leader in this field, or looking to take on such a role, this Postgraduate Certificate in International Education (PGCiE) will provide you with sought-after skills and knowledge to boost your career.
In studying this course, you will explore issues relating to education in an international context, considering what it means to offer an international curriculum, the concept of culture, and issues relating to international schools.
There’s then the option to explore curriculum issues in greater depth, or to focus more on understanding issues relating to learning in an international context.
The final unit encourages you to reflect on what you have studied so far, and how it relates to your own professional practice.
