Assessment, Data and Evaluation as Specialisation
This specialisation in the Master of Education enables you to harness the power of data to improve learning and education. Become a more discerning user of assessment and other sources of evidence in a wide range of educational contexts and settings.

Graduate Certificate in Evaluation
The Graduate Certificate in Evaluation uses the latest research and insights to provide students with extensive knowledge and skills of evaluation theory and practice that can be applied to work settings.

Master of Evaluation
The Evaluation program prepares graduates to shape the strategic direction of organisational projects and programs and design effective social interventions. Designed by the Assessment and Evaluation Research Centre, this program offers students a rare opportunity to develop the evaluation skills needed to inform programs and policies with reliable evidence, support communities and drive organisational change across a range of sectors and activities.

“I learned how to generate evidence, which has become more and more
relevant to me. For example, I wrote a project proposal to a donor, and someone from another country office said, ‘hey, how about we change one of the indicators? Instead of the number of people trained, we want to know the percentage of people who have improved their knowledge on parenting.’ Thank God I have learned that I can do a pre- and post-test, or I can do a case study, and I can present that evidence. Imagine if I had no degree in evaluation, and someone changed my indicator. I would have been struggling!”
