Different perspectives from peers on my programme helped me consider new ideas and compare what I have learnt.
What did you enjoy the most about the Academic Practice (PGCAP) programme?
Student support was the most valuable aspect of this fully online programme. The teaching and learning experiences were designed and delivered to ensure I received timely updates and a consistent positive experience. In addition to the virtual learning platform (VLE), a range of high-quality support services were available to assist me with anything I needed during my studies.
Which aspects of your course do you think have been the most beneficial to your career development?
The range of global higher education contexts I’ve learnt about has been the most beneficial area for my future career. Case studies and different perspectives from peers on the programme helped me consider new ideas – allowing me to align, adapt, and compare these learnings.
Can you share an insight into your current role and if this was supported by your time at the University of Liverpool?
Upon completing the PGCAP programme, I proposed the creation of an office at my home university. The office supports the academic workings of the university at different levels (course, programme, and institutional) through the development of policies, practices, and research. I am also responsible for faculty training and coordinating academic support services to ensure alignment with the wider university.
What is the first thing that you think of when you think of the University of Liverpool?
Research-connected teaching!
What advice would you give to prospective students thinking of studying academic practice online?
It is important to have a plan for what you are keen on pursuing, as well as what you will do during and on completion of the programme. In my experience, I found it helpful to map this out in advance, as it helped me to focus and tailor optional modules to suit my specific career interests.
