The program is designed to meet Australia's growing need for qualified professional educators in the field of curatorial studies broadly speaking, in relation to museums, heritage sites, and art galleries. It provides in-service professional development for museum professionals wanting to formalise or extend their capabilities in the field of museum learning, as well as for primary and secondary teachers wanting to engage further with museums as a study site, or looking for a career change opportunity. 

The program will prepare students for professional roles within museum/heritage education, school or public program areas by giving them both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills that will allow them to develop and implement formal and informal learning programs for museums/heritage audiences of all ages and backgrounds. It will also provide effective background preparation for those wishing to study a higher degree by research in the field of museum education. 

Prerequisites

Applicants should have a three year Bachelor degree from an Australian tertiary institution or its international equivalent. Applicants without a first degree, but with relevant professional experience and appropriate prior learning, will be eligible for admission into the Graduate Certificate in Museum Education & Heritage Interpretation.
