Graduate Certificate in Educational Leadership
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Graduate Certificate in Educational Leadership gives aspiring and current educational leaders a relatively short, flexible program covering recent developments in educational leadership theory, research, policy and practice. It suits teachers or education professionals stepping into leadership roles for the first time, as well as existing leaders wanting to formalise and update their thinking with current research and policy developments. As a short graduate certificate, it works well as either standalone professional development or a stepping stone toward the fuller Master of Educational Leadership for those who decide to continue. It suits education professionals who need genuine leadership credentials for career progression but don't necessarily need or want the time commitment of a full master's degree upfront.
