What you will learn

The Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching for Higher Education (GCLTHE) focuses on enhancing the knowledge and skills of those aspiring to develop good practice in higher education learning and teaching.

You will finish this program with a number of valuable skills, such as the ability to evaluate higher education literature critically, a learner-centered approach to curriculum design and delivery, better communication and teaching skills, improved digital practices, a greater capacity of collaboration with academic colleagues, and an improved ability to initiate, plan and implement a pedagogical research project.
