University Learning and Teaching

This 30 ECTS award is designed for TU Dublin academic staff. It supports them in developing the requisite knowledge and skills to be a more effective and competent lecturer and to obtain a nationally recognised teaching qualification. The Postgraduate Certificate is a heavily practice based course that aims to facilitate participants in the development of a capacity for their continuing professional development, critical reflection and a scholarly approach to the implementation and evaluation of teaching practices. Through varied forms of teaching demonstration, reflection in and on action, and engagement with theoretical principles and concepts, participants will explore and critically evaluate practice and convention in learning and teaching, from both a generic and a discipline-specific perspective.
