The answer to how to get a job in higher education needs you first to consider the kind of job you want to get. Jobs in the higher education industry cover a wide range of skills and services. Many colleges and universities are in fact a small community, some a small town.
There is a network of support and assistance needed to make the whole system work.
Jobs in higher education are usually in colleges and universities. These could lecturing, administration, support services or additional services like careers advice. Most students in higher education are aged 18 and over.

Qualifications for jobs in higher education
Most universities will want academic applicants to hold, or seek to hold, a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE). A PGCHE may be earned through part-time study.
The PGCHE is recognised as equivalent to similar postgraduate qualifications abroad, an important factor for academics who may be thinking of working elsewhere in future.
The work load is significant, but most universities offer time as well as funding to encourage staff to pursue a PCTHE. The certificate is comprised of 60 credits, which can later be combined with further study to earn a postgraduate diploma or Masters in Education.
