Graduate Certificate in University Teaching

Expressions of interest are now being accepted for the Centre for the Study of Higher Education's, Graduate Certificate in University Teaching.
Overview 
The Graduate Certificate in University Teaching (GCUT) is designed for university staff seeking to develop their expertise, scholarship, and leadership skills in university teaching. The course combines research-based, theoretical seminars guided by experienced higher education researchers, with practical exercises involving peer review of teaching and negotiated projects. 
The course is offered part time and is designed to complement participants' university teaching practice. 
A feature of the program is the diversity of the group. Participants represent a wide range of disciplines and are in a variety of teaching roles. They therefore contribute various perspectives and experiences to the group. The curriculum is designed to capitalise on this diversity through discussion and collaboration. Assessment tasks are designed to be useful to individuals and relevant to their particular teaching environments. 
Past graduates from the GCUT have reported many positive career outcomes, including enhanced knowledge of effective teaching and learning, improved student evaluation scores, increased promotion opportunities, publication in academic journals, and success in winning teaching awards and grants for educational research and development. 
The GCUT is a program for staff teaching in an Australian higher education institution. Places are limited and applicants require the support of their Head of Department/School and Dean of Faculty. Course fees for University of Melbourne staff are covered by the University. Staff from other Australian institutions should contact the course coordinator for information about course fees. All University staff meeting the following criteria are eligible to apply:

  • Bachelor degree (any discipline)
  • Current employment at an Australian university with teaching responsibilities (full-time staff, part-time or sessional)
  • Support and formal approval from Head of Department and Faculty Dean.

Course structure 
The GCUT is offered part-time, consists of four subjects each worth 12.5 credit points, and may be taken over one or two years.

Teaching is primarily on-campus, and most subjects include an introductory, intensive session held in the non-teaching period. The two year option is appropriate for staff on full time appointments. Online learning is core to some subjects, and is used to support participation across the course as a whole. Assessment tasks are designed to be useful to individuals, and relevant to their particular teaching environments.

Classes are held at the University of Melbourne on the Parkville campus (typically in the Barbara Falk Room, 715 Swanston St). All subjects are also supported through subject websites on the University's Learning Management System (LMS).

Refer to the CSHE website for the Key Dates for 2014.

The CSHE also offers seminars and events related to higher education policy, research, teaching and innovation. Details about these seminars will be available from the CSHE's website early in the new year.
