Why study Tertiary Teaching and Learning?
The Postgraduate Certificate in Tertiary Teaching and Learning — PGCert(TertiaryT&L) - is a recognised qualification for staff working in tertiary education contexts who wish to extend their understanding of tertiary learning and teaching, improve their practice and facilitate positive change in student learning across their courses and programmes or in their specific areas of work.
It is a flexible programme offering face-to-face and online options that can benefit people engaged in tertiary education teaching at any point during their career. The programme can be completed over one to four years, depending on individual preferences and needs.
Through the PGCert programme, participants will have opportunities to improve their teaching, research teaching and learning, critically engage with theories and principles of tertiary teaching and learning, contextualise their practice locally, nationally and globally, and be prepared to take responsibility for leading teaching and learning initiatives at an appropriate level.
The PGCert in Tertiary Teaching and Learning requires the successful completion of four 15-point elective papers.
