The purpose of this qualification is to develop the educational knowledge and skills of lecturers and other education practitioners who are discipline experts, but may not have been formally exposed to the theory and practice of teaching and learning at higher education level or who are seeking a deeper understanding of this theory and practice. Students should develop a solid grounding in existing theory, and be able to refine their own philosophy of education which they may then implement through sound curriculum design and development practices. This includes an understanding of the legislation, policies and structures that govern the higher education environment, leadership practices, and management competencies. The programme facilitates critical thinking culminating in graduates who will promote quality teaching and learning in the higher education market. In this way, the qualification provides for continuous professional development of practising lecturer.
