Fellowships
The Academic and Professional Practice Scheme at UON is aligned to the PSF 2023 and accredited by Advance HE. This means that UON offers a Scheme that enables staff to gain professional recognition as Associate Fellow, Fellow or Senior Fellow through a supported process: either through the experiential route, New to Teaching Pathway or Pathway for Senior Fellowship.
The Professional Standards Framework 2023 (PSF 2023) for teaching and supporting learning in higher education provides a comprehensive set of professional standards and guidelines for all those who are involved in teaching and supporting learning in higher education.
The PSF 2023 can be used by individuals to plan their development and evidence their practice to achieve professional recognition, by institutions as a basis for continuing professional development, and at a national level to improve teaching quality and celebrate success.
