Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Supporting Learning in Higher Education

The Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Supporting Learning in Higher Education (PGCLTHE) has closed. It ran until 2024 and has been replaced by the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP).  

The PGCLTHE was a professional qualification for lecturers and teachers at the University of Stirling. It was the credit-bearing pathway for the Stirling Framework Evidencing Learning and Teaching Enhancement (SFELTE) and was accredited by Advance HE using the UK Professional Standards Framework (2011).  

Successful completion of the first module of the course helped students earn Associate Fellowship, and successful completion of the full programme led to Fellowship with Advance HE.
