Overview

The Higher Education course is offered at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Key facts

The Higher Education course at Manchester Metropolitan University is designed for two groups of staff:

Staff who already have an appropriate postgraduate certificate qualification (such as the MMU PGCert in Learning and Teaching in HE or an equivalent from another institution) and wish to develop their academic practice or HE scholarship further. Staff in this category may be admitted to the programme with 60 credits advanced standing.

Staff who work in HE (but without a specific teaching remit) and who wish to complete an MA award which relates to their own aspects of HE. Staff in this category complete 30 option credits and the 30 credit ‘HE Today’ core unit before progressing to the PGDip stage. This route is therefore appropriate for HE staff with any relevant role, including for example, governance, librarianship, student support, leadership, strategic or operational management and so on.
