Education and Multi-Professional Practice (EMPP) · Education and teaching
The Postgraduate Certificate in HE practice is an experiential work-based learning programme that addresses the early career development needs of HE professionals. You should therefore be someone who has a role in supporting teaching and/or student learning, being able to draw on this experience in discussion sessions and take back ideas from the course into your practice. Your development as an effective, reflective, and questioning practitioner through this cycle of drawing on practice and feeding back into practice is vital to the course and enables you to further develop your capacity to study and learn independently for the rest of your professional life. The Certificate comprises three modules: - Higher Education Practice - Programme Design in Higher Education - Academic Practice Development You can begin the course in either September or January (cohort number dependent) studying in a blended or remote mode. Learning on the programme is supported through a variety of means: Fortnightly independent online activities. These provide material, activities, and opportunities for engagement in wider resources as the basis for discussion during our live study sessions. They also work directly to support your assessment tasks. Teaching is online and completed independently. Fortnightly live study afternoons. These build on the independent online activities, containing short inputs with extensive workshop and discussion activity explicitly linked to the module curriculum led outcomes. Teaching is ‘live’ meaning that you must be present as scheduled in your timetable to engage in learning activities together with your peers. Individual tutorials and peer observations. Peer observations to encourage discourse and debate around our shared and situated practices.
Getting in
As the university states it
The PG Cert Higher Education Practice is currently only open to staff at Birmingham Newman University, Collaborative Partners or those in medical settings who are able to reflect on their practice in teaching and/or the support of student learning in higher education. Please note you must be engaged in at least 180 practice hours across the academic year. You should ideally have an Honours degree in a relevant subject area from a UK university or an overseas university agreed by NARIC as equivalent and subject to IELTS and EU requirements. Consideration will be given if you have a lower-level qualifications but relevant range of professional experience. Here, the relevance of any professional experience that equates to degree level will be considered by the Programme Leader, with successful application determined by completion of pre-entry tasks.
