Everything you need to know about studying a bachelor's in Higher Education

part of Education & Training

Higher Education prepares you to become a licensed professor in universities, colleges or academies. You will teach classes based on your area of competence, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

During a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Higher Education, you can expect to take classes on the psychology of learning, adult learning, course design, research project design, pedagogy and practice, learning technologies, research methods and methodologies, etc.

As a future licensed professor, during your lectures and seminars, you will help university students to expand their knowledge to academic levels and gain the essential skills they need to be the best in their careers.

To become a successful higher education professor, you need to own communication, presentation, organisation, and research skills. Additionally, emotional intelligence and empathy will allow you to understand your students better and adjust courses and homework based on their needs.

After graduating with a Higher Education degree, you can work for public and private universities, colleges, institutes of technology, professional schools, NGOs, etc.

You should know that at some universities, especially in the US, Higher Education programmes aren’t for aspiring professors. The aim is, instead, to help you develop administrative and management skills for entry-level leadership roles in academic institutions.
