This new 30 ECTS CPD award is designed for staff involved in teaching in Higher Education to develop the requisite knowledge and skills to be a more effective and competent lecturer and to obtain a nationally recognised teaching qualification (National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning, 2016).

 

The Postgraduate Certificate is a heavily practice based course that aims to facilitate participants in the development of a capacity for their continuing professional development, critical reflection and a scholarly approach to the implementation and evaluation of teaching practices. Through varied forms of teaching demonstration, reflection in and on action, and engagement with theoretical principles and concepts, participants will explore and critically evaluate practice and convention in learning and teaching, from both a generic and a discipline-specific perspective.
