The PgCert TSL in HE programme is designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge and professional practice. Focusing on learning, teaching, assessment for learning and scholarship, the programme has an applied focus to facilitate your development as a skilled, reflective practitioner in HE with an extensive knowledge base and professional network.

A fundamental aspect of this programme is cross-institutional collaboration where you learn in active engagement and co-construction with peers on the programme from across the university. Embedded within the learning and assessment on the programme’s modules are significant opportunities for your active engagement with peers as you critically engage with, evaluate, reflect upon and develop your practice.

In these ways the PgCert TSL in HE supports the Learning and Teaching Strategy 2020-2025’s objectives in developing the blended and online learning and digital skills of staff and enhancing the career development of staff while also providing the opportunity to achieve professional recognition of such practice in teaching and supporting learning.

Typical entry point to this course is in September.
