Please tick the courses in which you would like to participate and make sure that courses you wish to attend are not
scheduled for the same day.
Courses last for whole days, so you can sign up for only one course per day.
If your intent is to obtain the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (60 credits), you have to choose a
minimum of four course options (10 credits each) plus the core course (20 credits). The maximum time allowed to
complete the programme is three years. Full details of the programme can be found at: http://www.ed.ac.uk/schoolsdepartments/institute-academic-development/learning-teaching/staff/courses-events/postgraduate-certificate
