The Centre for Higher Education, Learning and Teaching is an academic centre with a service role. It provides an institution-wide service support role to all seven ANU Colleges and reports to the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Learning, Teaching and Students). Its service role is to build institutional capacity in academic work, in areas such as teaching and learning, curriculum development, research supervision and academic leadership, with a particular focus on educational development.

CHELT offers Graduate Certificate and Masters programs in Higher Education for academic staff and others interested in enhancing their practice as a teacher, curriculum designer, research supervisor or academic manager. The Centre is staffed by academics who provide a range of services for both educational quality enhancement and quality assurance. This support role is underpinned by the Centre’s research into higher education.
