This Graduate Diploma has been developed to enable participants to reflect on their own educational practice, taking a professional academic approach. The programme's presentation is either fully online for individual students or mixed mode for those joining a school-based cohort group (minimum of 20 participants for the whole programme which includes MA participants).

UCL Institute of Education offers a wide range of professional development programmes for education professionals, at all stages of their career. These programmes focus on developing practical skills and knowledge for the workplace and are intended to fit round a student\'s busy working life.

They are designed as advanced training in a specialist area of education for experienced teachers, teaching assistants and others working in education and related fields.

This route is at level 6 (or honours level) and does not require completion of a dissertation thesis as at MA level. It is reflective professional development for those working in a range of educational settings.

This programme is delivered through a combination of workshops and tutorials to school-based cohort groups or fully online through our virtual learning environment (VLE) Moodle, to individuals. All participants are assessed by coursework (which may be an essay, portfolio or presentation) on completion of each module and receive both formative written assessment on a draft and summative written assessment following final submission.
