The NELP experiment with DipHE
Abstract
It is often difficult for us to explain what we are trying to achieve through developing a DipHE. This is partly because there are two inter‐linked strands in our thinking. First there is the desire to develop two year programmes of higher education, because of a belief that an extension of educational opportunity to a wider section of the community demands different kinds of courses. Secondly we wished to challenge assumptions about what higher education is for, and the DipHE structure happened to be a convenient vehicle. When we argue for an extension of what we are doing (and our students are certainly concerned to see this happen) then we are suggesting not just an expansion of two‐year programmes, but a development of new ways of thinking about higher education.
