Institutions should assure themselves of the competence of their teachers. They should apply fair and transparent processes for the recruitment and development of the staff.
Current Practice
The Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) provides a range of options for those wishing to develop their skills and qualifications in the areas of teaching and learning in higher education and broader academic practice (e.g. supervision, leading in teaching, policy, civic engagement, etc.).
Activities include:
- the Professional Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching & Learning in Higher Education (PgCert);
- modules which add to the PgCert and lead to the Postgraduate Diploma , or M.A., in Academic Practice (PgDip; MA);
- workshop sessions;
- module GS506: An Introduction to Teaching & Learning, offered to PhD students/Teaching Assistants;
- lunchtime seminars and guest speakers;
- our annual symposium;
- online and self-study resources.
