Approved Abbreviation: GradCertEd(SocEcol)

Western Sydney University Course Code: 1724.1

This course is an exit award only. Students may elect to exit the 1723 - Master of Education (Social Ecology) after the completion of the 40 credit points with the 1724 - Graduate Certificate in Education (Social Ecology).

The Graduate Certificate of Education (Social Ecology) explores the inter-relationships between the personal, social, environmental and spiritual domains. We acknowledge that everything we do as individuals affects others. We view ourselves as parts of the systems in which we live, taking responsibility for our roles. Students apply a specialised social-ecological understanding to their professional or community environment to arrive at coherent understandings of those systems of practice. They develop skills in the analysis and synthesis of ecological relationships through critical thinking, creative practice and effective communication. Graduates demonstrate a high level of awareness of social-ecological issues and take responsibility for their development and implementation. This course is delivered through a combination of online and on campus intensive teaching methods.

Study Mode
One year part-time.
