Postgraduate Certificate in International Education in Schools

Explore the issues, history and development of international education as you study a range of international models and practices.


Gain an IB-recognised qualification

If you're a qualified teacher, this course will expand your qualifications to the International Baccalaureate (IB) authorised programs, making you eligible to register for an IB Teacher Award Level 1 Certificate. You'll explore the Primary Years Program, Middle Years Program OR Diploma Program. Depending on your unit selection, you can complete this postgraduate certificate in 6 to 12 months. Intensive summer and winter modes will help you to fit your study around your existing teaching commitments. An IB teaching portfolio will be constructed throughout the three units.

15 days of practical experience in a recognised IB school (5 days per unit) will be required for those not experienced in IB schools. If you have teaching experience in an IB school, or have undertaken IB workshops or Professional Development the school experience component is substituted for an assignment.


Take an international approach to your teaching career

Other universities (in the eastern states) offer International Baccalaureate accredited courses, but this PG Certificate in International Education - which is also accredited by the IB - is only currently available at Murdoch. This qualification meets the requirements of the IB.

After completing this qualification, you'll also receive a certificate from the IB, and be eligible to work at any IB accredited school in Australia or overseas.
