Higher Educational Management and Policy
Contents
Introduction
UNE is offering a new masters program specifically tailored to the needs of mid-career university managers, administrators and policy makers, and to those aspiring to work in the field of higher education policy and management.
The degree is a brand new specialisation within the existing Master of Educational Administration Program. It is centred around a combination of theory and practice and uses workplace learning as the major focus. The course is flexible and designed to suit individual interests and circumstances.
It is compatible with and linked to professional development activities undertaken by individual institutions and professional bodies. As such, recognition is given to prior workplace learning.
Why Study Higher Educational Management and Policy at UNE?
As the program is developed by staff from the Centre for Higher Education Management and Policy (CHEMP), students not only have the advantage of being exposed to state of the art knowledge stemming from CHEMP’s ongoing research program, they also are offered access to the centre’s vast international network. They can participate in international study tours that are organised on a yearly basis (PDAS 595) provided that they meet their own travel and accommodation costs. In addition, students are offered the opportunity to undertake the special study project (PDAS 403) at one of CHEMP’s colleague centres overseas, in e.g. the USA, UK, Netherlands or Norway. Students are expected to cover travel and accommodation costs, and arrangements will be made on an individual basis, conditional on the availability of space at our colleague centres.
Credit may be provided for study in other institutions and for development programs provided by professional organisations, such as ATEM, or by individual universities. Recognition will be provided for prior learning where appropriate.

Careers
We envisage our graduates to take up senior management positions in the tertiary education sector, in academic departments as well as in administration. But clearly, careers are not limited to the traditional university or TAFE institution. The tertiary sector has many professional organizations that could be equally appropriate from a career perspective. And, of course, in today’s world the international dimension plays an important role, and a wide range of international organizations, ranging from the OECD to the Asian Development Bank have a serious stake in tertiary education.
Units
The program consists of three compulsory content units: PDAS 482, PDAS 485, PDAS 551, one compulsory research methods unit EHPS 590, and a compulsory year-long final project (PDAS 403). Students can select two optional units from the wide range provided by the School of Education and the School of Business, Economics and Public Policy.
