Workshops and Training
The Faculty of Graduate Studies strives to prepare its graduate students for the challenges of graduate school and to support students in their extracurricular efforts. Free workshops are offered to current graduate students and, space permitting, fourth-year Honours students as well as recent alumni.
Training: the Higher Education Teaching Certificate (HETC)
The Higher Education Teaching Certificate is a part-time program designed for current graduate studies, or recent alumni wanting to prepare for teaching responsibilities in a university setting. It is intended to be an introduction to the teaching culture of academia, providing a foundation for the theory and practice of higher education and pedagogy. This certificate emphasizes course preparation, communication and presentation skills.
