Teaching and Learning - PGCert
The programme in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is a part-time Postgraduate Certificate at level 7. It is made up of three units, taught over three terms. The Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is accredited at Descriptor 2 of the Professional Standards Framework (PSF) by Advance HE. Participants whose summatively assessed Portfolio satisfy the requirements of PSF Descriptor 2 are entitled to claim Fellowship of the HEA. The programme is designed to enable participants to define and pursue their own independent enquiries, with appropriate tutor support and formative feedback.
The programme design also encourages the formation of peer-learning networks within the programme, as a complementary source of collegial learning and support; in particular, this peer-to-peer learning is encouraged through reciprocal peer observation of teaching and through collaborating on giving and receiving formative feedback on draft assignments throughout the programme. The programme’s VLE provides access to core materials and structured activities which enable participants to develop their knowledge of influential theoretical perspectives and their understanding of how to pursue well designed lines of enquiry into teaching and learning in higher education.
