The Centre for Teaching and Learning is proud to congratulate our latest group of participants to graduate from the Postgraduate Diploma in Higher Education Teaching, Learning and Assessment (PDHETL), and the Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education Teaching, Learning and Assessment. These are flexible 60-credit and 30-credit programmes (respectively), aimed at providing those who teach in Maynooth University with the opportunity to engage with the theory, concepts and approaches to learning, teaching and assessment in higher education and to consider how these might apply in their own practice. 

Dr Adeline Cooney, Programme Lead, said ‘We are proud to congratulate this year’s graduates; Dr Ciara Bradley (Department of Applied Social Studies), Dr Ozgur Bayram (Department of Biology), Dr Martina Schroeder (Department of Biology), Dr Nicola Mountford (School of Business) (Pictured), Dr. Peter Mooney (Department of Computer Science) and Dr Edgar Galvan (Department of Computer Science) on their achievement in completing the Diploma. Likewise, we congratulate Dr Amina Adanan (School of Law and Criminology), Dr Gloria Kirwan (Department of Applied Social Studies), Professor Fiona Walsh (Department of Biology), Dr Saeed Golian (Department of Geography) and Dr Rachel O’Neill (Department of Mathematics and Statistics) who were awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education Teaching, Learning and Assessment.

All our graduates have shown a commitment to professional development in their teaching practice and a passion for enhancing their students’ learning experience. We welcome them to the growing community of Centre for Teaching and Learning graduates and look forward to collaborating with them in the years to come.’ She also thanked programme lecturers, Margaret Keane (former Programme Lead) and Dr Morag Munro, and administrator, Clare Cullen, for their invaluable contributions in delivering and developing the programmes in recent years.
