Program details

Overview

The Graduate Diploma in Educational and Community Leadership is designed for professionals interested in pursuing leadership roles in education and community contexts, exploring teaching and learning within and beyond the classroom. It is designed especially for students in full-time employment, with a flexible, self-paced study structure suited to working professionals who need to balance study with a job. The programme comprises 2.5 credits in total, including a required core course plus elective coursework drawn from education and related subject areas, allowing students to tailor part of the programme to their own leadership interests. Graduates gain grounding in leadership theory and practice applicable to educational institutions and community organisations, preparing them for leadership, coordination, and administrative roles in schools, school boards, and community-based education and outreach programmes.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 73.00 / %
Admission Requirements: An Honours degree (a four-year undergraduate bachelor's degree) is required; a General degree (three years) plus a domestic B.Ed. is also eligible to apply. A minimum B+ (73%) or equivalent in the last two years of full-time study, or the last ten full academic credits, is required, though applications are also considered in light of a range of other evidence that may, in some circumstances, mitigate a lower academic average.
