This is an internationally recognised qualification designed in consultation with education professionals and external bodies to give you the skills to succeed in teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
You’ll engage with peers and through academic scholarship to develop as a creative, competent and committed practitioner in higher education (HE). Through our ‘learning by doing’ approach you’ll push the limits of your practice, trying new initiatives and taking risks within a safe, supportive environment and building confidence in your ability to respond to the rapidly evolving university sector and its growing emphasis on the student experience.

Across two modules you will investigate current theories, concepts and practices within higher education, and explore and develop the ways you support student learning in a variety of different learning environments.
You will cover areas of planning, teaching, learning and assessment that are current in HE, as you reflect on and develop areas of your own practice. You will engage with the design, implementation and evaluation of the use of technology to enhance learning as part of a blended or online learning approach. Through reflection and discussion, you will consider strategies for curriculum design for supporting flexible, inclusive learning in online and/or blended learning environments.
By the time you finish the course, you will be confident in critically reflecting on your practice to inform your continuing professional development.
