Postgraduate, Professional Programme
in Teaching & Learning in Higher Education

CELT runs the university’s professional, postgraduate programme on Teaching & Learning in Higher Education. This course is available on a part-time basis to those currently teaching in Higher Education and consists of :

a Postgraduate Certificate (after 3 modules),
a Postgraduate Diploma (after a further 3 modules) and
an MA (after a research methods module, a project, and a dissertation).

The course benefits greatly from the support of experienced staff across the institution (and beyond) who give of their time to share their experience and expertise. The focus is on practical issues that will impact on teaching practice, rather than concentrating heavily (at least initially) on educational theory.

Diploma

Entry to the Postgraduate Diploma in Academic Practice is open to those who have successfully completed the requirements for the award of the Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. Applicants with equivalent qualifications obtained from other institutions may also be considered by the Course Committee, but such candidates will be required to provide a detailed Teaching Portfolio matching the format and standards of the current NUI Galway course.

The Diploma (1MAP2) is based on successful completion of a further three modules (each of 10 ECTS).

From 2011-2012 the modules available will be:

CEL267 Postgraduate Research Supervision

CEL263 Learning Technologies

CEL266 Teaching and Learning in Context

CEL280 Civic Engagement

The third of these is based on a detailed study of key aspects of teaching and learning in each participant’s specific academic discipline.

Application procedure.

An application forms for the Postgraduate Diploma Programme is available from the course coordinator following the completion of the certificate programme in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
