Graduate Certificate in Religious Education - Primary
Campion College Australia
Type of institution: Higher Education Institutions
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 02738G
The Graduate Certificate in Religious Education (Primary) is designed to serve a dual purpose: a) as a foundation for students seeking a qualification in theology but do not have any prior qualifications in this field; b) as professional development for students currently working as Religious Education teachers. It qualifies students who apply a body of knowledge in a range of contexts to undertake professional/highly skilled work. It also serves as a foundational, 'stand-alone' qualification and as a pathway for further learning in theological studies. For students already with teaching qualifications, it provides an opportunity for professional development.
Structure
The Graduate Certificate of Religious Education (Primary) consists of four compulsory units of study (6 credit points each) for a total of 24 credit points. Successful completion of the course requires a grade of Pass or higher in all four units. They are completed concurrently if studying full-time, or in any other sequence if studying part-time or in cases where a student acquires RPL. There are no pre-requisites between units of study.
