The PgCert Teaching & Supporting Learning in Higher Education (TSL in HE) is a dynamic, innovative programme designed to enable your applied, professional learning. It provides you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge and professional practice with your peers at this stage of your career in Higher Education.
Focusing on learning and teaching, assessment for learning, and scholarship, the programme has an applied focus to facilitate your development throughout the programme in becoming 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 and reflect upon your practice.
Our aim is that on completing the programme you have:
• a substantial self-awareness as a developing, reflective practitioner and educator
• a robust pedagogically-underpinned knowledge and understanding of supporting student learning, teaching, and assessment
• enhanced confidence within your practice in engaging with, evaluating and applying fundamental theoretical concepts and scholarship of learning and teaching to the benefit of students
• an appreciation of, and commitment to, collaborative practice-related discussion, enquiry and enhancement with colleagues, students, and cross-sector partners
Please note that the fees are waived for internal staff.
