Education (International Baccalaureate)

Overview

Flinders University offers postgraduate programs that enhance your teaching in International Baccalaureate schools, and was the first tertiary institution in the world to be accredited to offer a postgraduate award for school educators teaching in the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IBMYP).

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a global education framework designed to provide high quality education and promote international mindedness, and has been adopted by thousands of schools across Australia and overseas.

The College of Education, Psychology and Social Work has a well-established reputation for the effective delivery of postgraduate topics using the intensive workshop approach. This mode of delivery is highly appropriate for school-based practitioners as it provides them with the opportunity to focus exclusively on their course of study for an intensive period of time. These courses do not lead to teacher registration in South Australia.
