Recruitment open for the second cohort of the University of Winchester's Postgraduate Certificate in Student Engagement in Higher Education for September 2019. The Student Engagement in Higher Education programme at Winchester aims to provide the opportunity for HE professionals to develop an applicable knowledge and critical understanding of theory and practice to be equipped to become a more applicable Student Engagement practitioner/academic in diverse HE settings. Course Overview: This course builds upon sector leading practice and research at the University of Winchester in Student Engagement in Higher Education as a means to enhance the student experience in contemporary Higher Education. This course offers an opportunity for professionals to learn from sector experts from Winchester's world leading practice and recently established Centre for Student Engagement with internationally recognised Visiting Fellows Dr Catherine Bovill and Professor Colin Bryson. Students will be provided with the opportunity to develop an applicable knowledge and critical understanding of theory and practice surrounding Student Engagement to be equipped to become a more applicable practitioner in their Higher Education Institution. Upon completion of the programme, students will be able to synthesise an understanding of theory and policy of Student Engagement in Higher Education, and will have the ability to critically reflect on Student Engagement practice in their own context and understand different practices (e.g. Student Voice, Partnership etc.). Students will develop a critical awareness of the current challenges and agendas facing Student Engagement in Higher Education, informed by the forefront of contemporary policy and theoretical thinking. Students will also apply their knowledge to challenging contexts of engaging students in Higher Education in a contemporary setting, and will be able to evaluate and directly plan practice to ensure Student Engagement practices are relevant to the module themes in diverse settings with varied stakeholders (e.g. diversity, democracy, scalability etc.). Students will learn of multiple practices, policies and strategies to engage students in improving the student experience, in consideration of the parallel theory which has developed in this area from the notion of student satisfaction through to student-staff partnership. Students will also reflect on theory and themes such as; inclusivity, partnership, representation, power structures, student voice and accessibility, which relate to Student Engagement. The programme will offer opportunities for students to discuss, debate and critically reflect on developed practice, and their own practice to both learn and critically assess how students are engaged in these processes at their own institution. Each module of the programme will be led by the springboard of a two day retreat at the University of Winchester, where content will be delivered and activity led discussions will begin. Students will then interact with the remaining module by distance through weekly readings and online lectures on specific practice which will then be discussed in reading groups. The assessment of the programme follows a programmatic assessment model where each assessment builds on the previous and the feedback will directly inform the next assessment. The assessments will all draw on developments, practice and the context of the students' home institution offering students the opportunity to reflect, synthesize and build thinking around practice in Student Engagement to take back to their workplace. Each assessment will be authentic with real-world application in an academic format. Degree Duration: 1 year part-time only (part distance, part intensive retreat) Start Date: September 2019 Teaching Takes Place: Two two-day mandatory retreats in September and January, and by distance on Tuesday evenings.
