PGCert & HEA
PGCert
The RVC have developed a unique MSc in Veterinary Education programme utilising the extensive expertise and experience of educators at the LIVE Centre. The course consists of 3 levels – the Postgraduate Certificate, the Postgraduate Diploma and the MSc Research project.
New members of academic staff, with the recommendation of their Head of Department, should enroll on the PGCert as part of their probation. The PGCert, which takes ten months to complete, consists of two compulsory core modules of 30 credits each: Principles and Practice in Veterinary Education and Current Perspectives in Veterinary Education. The course will develop individuals as professional veterinary and para-veterinary educators and reflective practitioners and will help them to offer an enhanced learning experience to anyone they teach or train.
Enrolment details and application forms will be sent to eligible staff members in the month of March. For further details on the course see the Graduate School's MSc Veterinary Education page.
HEA
The aim of the HEA (Higher Education Academy) is to support the enhancement of learning and teaching in higher education, their mission is to help institutions, and staff to provide the best possible learning experience for their students.
On successful completion of PGCert members of staff are encouraged to become a member of HEA. Note, successful completion of PGCert is an important part of the Academic Probation.
