Postgraduate Certificate in University
Learning and Teaching (PG Cert ULT)

Programme Structure and Timetable

The PG Cert is organised through a series of topics, each of which
have associated seminar(s), and an assignment which requires you
to complete some directed reading. Students can choose topics
which best fit their interests and practice and may also seek advice
from members of academic staff. Some topics have pre-requisites,
usually attendance at one or more of the EDU workshops and/or
pre-sessional reading and preparation to be submitted in advance
of the topic seminar. Most topics will run at least twice throughout
the year and students are advised to consider their workload when
booking sessions to ensure that they have enough time to complete
the reading and assignments in the timescales given. The deadline
for submitting assignments for formative feedback is normally six
weeks after the date of the topic seminar.
