Learning and Teaching in Higher Education Programme (LTHE)

This course could be for you!

Are you a University of Exeter postgraduate research student who teaches and/or supports students’ learning? This two stage programme introduces the principles of effective learning, teaching and assessing in Higher Education. Postgraduate research students have a variety of roles across the University including teaching assistants, demonstrators and skills advisers. Here, we will refer to all of these roles as 'teaching assistants'. If you fall into any of these categories, the LTHE programme is available to you- and it can lead to you gaining a nationally recognised professional qualification!
