Applying for HEA Fellowship (15,16,17 March workshops)

Wednesday 2 March 2022

Getting a category of HEA (AdvanceHE) Fellowship allows you to evidence your professional practice in higher education and demonstrate your commitment to teaching, learning and the student experience.  It is increasingly listed as a desirable or essential criterion by employers across the UK higher education sector.

The Centre for Educational Enhancement and Development (CEED) runs workshops each semester on applying for Associate, Fellow or Senior Fellow. If you are interested in applying for Principal Fellow, please email Dr Heather McKiggan-Fee to arrange a one-to-one. These workshops will run again in the summer.

CEED also provides a self-enrol Moodle course on Applying for HEA Fellowship which will take you step-by-step through the process of deciding which category of Fellowship you should apply for, and how to write an effective application. It includes detailed guidance from Advance HE as well as suggested readings and example applications.

The Head of Educational Development, Dr McKiggan-Fee, will read through and offer feedback on one final draft of an application before submission.  Please note, however, that this may take up to 10 weeks in busy periods.

CEED has a fund to cover the cost of individual route applications, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis as eligible requests are received and approved, until such time as the fund is fully disbursed.

For full details of the support available from CEED see our Applying for AdvanceHE/HEA Fellowship page. If you have any questions about Fellowship applications, contact Dr Heather McKiggan-Fee at [email protected].
