CEED is pleased to announce the launch of the University’s new Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP), a professional practice programme for all staff at St Andrews who are engaged in university teaching or supporting student learning. The aim is to give colleagues a supportive space in which they can develop as reflective practitioners in a collegiate, interdisciplinary community, exploring and developing different aspects of their practice in dialogue with peers.

To achieve the PGCAP you must successfully complete four 15-credit modules over 2 to 4 years. This delivery mode of 4 semesters of study over a maximum of 4 years recognises that programme participants will often be working full-time and engaging with the modules on top of existing commitments. It allows you to “pause” your engagement with the programme according to your circumstances; modules do not need to be completed in consecutive semesters. The aim is to provide flexibility to support the needs of a diverse cohort while still ensuring a logical developmental pathway.
