Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education

POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN HIGHER EDUCATION (PGCHE) Duration: 30 weeks Mode of study:Online, part-time Direct line: 01223 447713

This PGCHE responds to the growing focus of Higher Education on developing excellence in teaching and learning, especially teaching and learning that is not solely concerned with traditional face-to-face delivery but instead combines this with the digital advantages of e-learning.

For those solely teaching face-to-face it will both help you develop your current face-to-face teaching and introduce you to blended learning and the widely acknowledged benefits, so that you consider incorporating this into your own practice. You’ll engage with your peers and scholarship to ensure you develop as a creative, confident, competent and committed teaching and learning practitioner that is able to learn from both your own work and examples of best practice.
