Hey!

Just wondering if anyone else is doing a PGCert in Higher Education Teaching and Learning alongside their PhD, like me?

If so, any thoughts on it?

Hi Jinkim65, I'm not taking a PGCert, but I do know someone who did take one a long side their PhD and she seemed to think it put about a year on the process. I've taken a teaching qualification in the past and it's very demanding, as is a PhD.

To be honest, I'm not finding it that demanding. I think this worries me a little... maybe I should be more concerned about it... hmmm.

Just interested in other peoples thoughts about it really. Everyone I speak to thinks I'm crazy doing both, but at my institution (well, my faculty) quite a few PhD students are doing the same. I'm guessing this isn't commonplace elsewhere?
