The University’s Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP) is a free professional practice programme for all staff at St Andrews who are engaged in 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 two to four years. This delivery mode of four semesters of study over a maximum of four 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. You must be teaching concurrently to enrol on the first two core modules.

The deadline to enrol for academic year 2023-2024 is Monday 21 August.
