Why study Bachelor of Adult Learning and Development?

The Bachelor of Adult Learning and Development offers a contemporary, cutting-edge approach to workplace and community education and development. This program is designed for people without an existing university qualification who are working and leading in the adult education field in areas such as TAFE, private or Adult Community Education (ACE) providers, or industry/corporate sector training and development programs.

Students will have access to the latest research into adult learning and development providing them with the opportunity to upgrade their formal qualifications, gain recognition for prior experience and enhance their professional career. The faculty consulted widely with key stakeholders to design a program that prepares learning and development professionals for today's diverse business and community needs and tomorrow's challenges. Students will examine adult learning theory and methods, workplace learning and development, program design and delivery, flexible learning and multimedia, and innovation and sustainability.

Students will be able to use this knowledge to improve adult learning outcomes, contributing to the development of individuals, organisations, industry, and local and global communities. This program is structured to be completed in just two years of full time study. This is achieved by the recognition of prior learning (RPL) for the first year of the degree in the form of relevant workplace or community experience, and post-school qualifications, such as a certificate/diploma in workplace training and assessment, vocational training or a trade certificate. To enhance the learning opportunities presented by this course it is recommended that students will ideally have access to either a formal or informal adult learning environment during the course, so that they can apply their knowledge in a real-life context.
