Do you want to develop in your current teaching role? Are you looking for innovative ways to get ahead? Why not try our short PG Certificate Education (Educational Practice)*? This programme will give you a chance to understand theories of learning, philosophy and education led by expert tutors.

Working alongside fellow teaching professionals, this course examines professional practice in higher education. It enables you to develop the skills and knowledge needed to engage in a range of practices to ensure ongoing professional development, including critical reflection, research and enquiry, and participation in discourse with relevant communities of practice.

Throughout this course, you’ll explore a broad range of topics including:

an introductory overview of the historical and philosophical context in which educational practice sits
learning the fundamental principles of assessment and key issues in contemporary educational assessment practice
the theory and practice of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL)
developing your skills as reflective professional practitioners
learning pedagogical strategies
Once you have completed our PG Certificate Education (Educational Practice) you have the option to progress onto our PG Dip Education or our full Masters programme.
