FORMAL CREDIT-BEARING COURSES:
The Higher Education Studies suite of courses has as its aim the professionalising of teaching and learning practice in higher education, and the deepening of theory.
The Educational Technology courses are aimed at potential and practicing educators, corporate trainers, and anyone responsible for e-Learning.
Stand-alone courses can be taken for professional development purposes or can accrue towards a full quali�cation at either Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) or Master’s level.
Entrance requirements for the PGDips are a relevant three-year degree (i.e. NQF level 7), and for the Master’s a relevant Honours degree with a minimum passing grade of 65%) (i.e. NQF level 8), or a PGDip in the relevant stream with 70% in a research module. Given the focus of the PGDip in Educational Technology it may appeal to people with a higher quali�cation who want to better understand Educational Technology.
All programmes are jointly o�ered with the School of
Education in the Faculty of Humanities at UCT.
FORMAL SHORT COURSES FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
TSCOT (The Short Course on Teaching): for HE practitioners seeking to work collectively to enhance and develop classroom practice.
