Practice-based and underpinned by theory, our course is taught by a team of active researchers in education. As a teacher/lecturer in higher education, this course supports you as part of your own continuing professional development (CPD) so that you are able to make positive contributions to teaching and learning in the sector.
With the needs of the 21st-century classroom and learners constantly changing, our course will provide you with the transferable skills to communicate, research and apply relevant teaching knowledge and understanding to practice.
With a focus on continuing professional development, the course and modules give you the opportunity to develop your own evidence-based practice. They can also contribute to the MA Education course and ultimately towards Professional Doctorate study.
In order to meet the course requirements you must currently be teaching and supporting learning in the higher education sector, both when you apply and throughout the course.
Assessment for both modules involves the completion of a series of pieces of academic work that are informed by your practice and theoretical understanding. The assessment approach, named patchwork text, supports you to demonstrate your engagement with each module’s outcomes as well as compile the assessment as the module progresses. The planning for and observation of your practice, as well as your subsequent reflection, is aligned to the module outcomes and forms part of your academic submission.
We use online submission and feedback for our final assessments. With students across the sector increasingly expected to use online plagiarism detection software packages, this offers you an opportunity to engage with such systems from a student perspective.
The Faculty of Health, Education, Medicine and Social Care is the largest in ARU, with over 7,000 students. Our Faculty is teeming with expertise and primed to meet the demand for creating health professionals, teachers, doctors, scientists and educators for the three districts we serve: Chelmsford, Cambridge and Peterborough.
We have been training undergraduates for professional roles for over 25 years, with a reputation for quality, dedication and ambition balanced with student satisfaction.
We know that to give our students the very best experiential learning, prior to getting into the workplace, simulation is second to none, for safe, realistic, learning environments. We have invested heavily in purpose built simulated wards, science labs and skills space, to support our students through their learning.
