Study with us

a flexible, academic development degree

ideal for university teaching staff, academics and all those who teach and/or support learning in higher education

Why this course?

The Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education is a flexible academic development degree which normally takes one to two years' part-time study.

The course examines factors influencing teaching, learning and assessment in higher education and offers a range of intellectual and practical methods to inform, explore, and develop learning and teaching across the disciplines.

You'll be encouraged to draw from your own area or discipline and to explore contemporary issues relating to learning and teaching in these areas throughout the course.

All courses are delivered in our in-house teaching facilities. We use a number of technologies to enhance provision.

Learning & teaching

All classes are taught using experiential and reflective techniques to ensure learning outcomes are applicable, useful and based in authentic activity. Classes are flexible, allowing you to make choices based on your personal interests.

Classes involve a synchronous element comprising roughly 16 hours, in addition to blended learning elements and individual study. Online elements are conducted through Myplace, the University's online learning environment. Participants who are unable to attend on-campus sessions can access them remotely (online) or via catch-up on demand.
