Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education

... United Kingdom
... Falmouth University

Course Overview

Develop the expertise to support you within your role in both digital and face-to-face teaching and learning contexts. 

Benefit from our ‘learning by doing approach and discover through your own learning experience what it’s like to learn and teach, both face-to-face and online. 

The PGCHE has been designed with education professionals and external bodies, such as the Higher Education Academy (HEA), for professional teaching and learning practice. 

You will: 

  • Push the limits of your practice by trying new initiatives and taking risks within a safe, supportive environment 

  • Become more confident in your practice and your ability to respond to the rapidly shifting HE sector and its growing emphasis on the student experience 

  • Benefit from studying alongside peers from different countries, disciplines and backgrounds, allowing you to interact with new perspectives 

  • Develop your ability to critically evaluate your practice in the light of pedagogical research, scholarship and policy  

  • Gain the confidence, knowledge and pedagogical fluency to explain your approach to colleagues, students and managers effectively.  

  • Gain the knowledge to prepare applications for professional recognition from various professional bodies. E.g. a portfolio for Fellowship recognition (FHEA) from the Higher Education Academy (HEA) in the UK 

  • Gain an internationally-recognised qualification for teaching and learning in Higher Education.

General Eligibility

All applications are considered on an individual basis. You would usually be expected to hold an honours degree. However, applicants with qualifications other than a first degree and those without formal qualifications or accreditation but with substantial, relevant professional experience are also encouraged to apply. 

Within your application, you will be expected to demonstrate sufficient previous and current practice supporting student learning in Higher Education (HE). As a guideline, we expect applicants to be actively engaged in supporting student learning in HE for a minimum of 50 hours over the course’s duration and be able to evidence this.
