About the Centre

The Centre for Learning & Teaching provides advice and support for all aspects of learning, teaching and assessment. It also provides support for eLearning and eAssessment. We recognise that professional development for teaching is about much more than attending courses. The Centre also: 

  • works in partnership with individual lecturers or groups of staff tackling complex issues in teaching, learning and assessment,
  • facilitates the University's Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education Learning & Teaching, which is accredited by the Higher Education Academy,
  • supports staff in the the use of eLearning,
  • supports students in developing effective learning strategies.

If you wish to discuss any of these options further, in the first instance please contact the Centre's Secretary Kirsty Chalmers or the Centre Manager, Patricia Spence.
