The Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Practice - ‘the Pg Cert’ - has been developed and is delivered by AUA’s team of professional higher education administrators and managers. It has been validated through a process of peer review, by the Open University, as being of an appropriate standard and quality to lead to an Open University Validated Award.
This highly flexible programme will appeal to professional managers and administrators from right across the spectrum of UK higher education, who wish to extend their understanding of the sector and develop their professional competencies.
Centred around personal development planning and reflective practice, the programme will allow you to balance the flexibility of professional development with the rigour of academic inquiry. Through structured reflection, you will determine you own pathway through the programme, leading ultimately to a Masters level award which:
- recognises your professionalism
- enhances your performance as a reflective and professional practitioner
- develops your knowledge and understanding of current issues in the sector
- demonstrates your commitment to continuing professional development
Our innovative approach to pedagogy provides a supportive framework for reflection and independent learning, which empowers you to direct and manage your own learning and development. There is no formal teaching on the programme, but you will be supported by a dedicated AUA mentor who will provide critical friendship and professional guidance.
