Graduate Certificate in Teaching English as an International Language
The Graduate Certificate in Teaching English as an International Language (TEIL) enables practising ESL teachers to obtain formal qualifications in ESL/EFL teaching and to upgrade their teaching skills.

This course is only delivered off-shore, in a combination of distance and intensive modes, and is only available to group enrolments.

Degree Programs
Currently all offshore programs are fully taught by Education School staff who travel to the partner institute and utilise their facilities. Degree programs can be "packaged" to provide the optimum outcome to the client, and to meet the educational requirements of the particular country.

The School is able to "broker" programs that combine subjects from our own programs with those from other faculties and graduate schools in this University.

Short (non-award) courses
We also have experience in the delivery of short courses or professional development programs, designed to specific client requirements. For example, coursework subjects can be modified to meet the specific needs of clients, or programs can be developed to a brief, and delivered offshore by Melbourne Graduate School of Education staff.

Study Tours
These are similar to the short courses, but involve cohorts of students travelling to Australia to participate in short-term programs. These include lectures on a specific topic eg curriculum development, combined with visits to schools and meetings with the Victorian (State) Department of Education and Training, or other relevant government bodies as defined by the program.

Consultancy
The School's research centres are led by some of the world's leading educationalists, and their staff are highly sought after internationally to address educational issues at ministerial and institutional levels.
