Expression of Interest: Advance HE Fellowships 2022/2023

This is open to all staff who deliver or support Higher Education provision.  

What is the HEA Fellowship Scheme?

The HEA Fellowship demonstrates a personal and institutional commitment to professionalism in learning and teaching in higher education. The Fellowship is a personal award and provides individuals with recognition of their practice, impact and leadership of learning and teaching. HEA Fellowships are embedded in the UK and have been adopted by increasing numbers of higher education institutions globally. It is a standard benchmark within the delivery of HE.

What is involved in applying for the HEA Fellowship scheme?

Fellowships are awarded based on a successful and effective demonstration of engagement with HE through four descriptors. It is an application based on reflection of practice. The maximum length for the total application is 3,000 words. It is anticipated that successful applicants will act as “champions” supporting others and disseminating best practice.

What support is there?

The fees to achieve the Fellowship or Associate Fellow will be paid for by SERC. There will be a workshop which must be attended on Thursday 1st December 2022, at 3:15pm – 4:45pm, Bangor Campus room TBC.
