How to Submit Your Application

Through the Academic and Professional Practice Scheme, staff at UON can develop an application for Associate Fellow, Fellow or Senior Fellow through the experiential route or by participating in one of the pathways. Through this process, staff have the commitment of a critical friend for Fellowship, who is usually working within the same faculty or unit as the participant.

Steps to submit an application

To submit an application for Associate Fellowship, Fellowship or Senior Fellowship through the Academic and Professional Practice Scheme at UON, please follow these steps:
1. Arrange a final check of your application by your critical friend for Fellowship and ensure you obtain supporting statements to accompany your application.
2. Request access to the NILE Organisation called ‘Fellowship Panel Submission’ by sending an email to LTE@northampton.ac.uk and include your username. Once you have been given access, you can submit your application during one of the three submission windows in 2024-25 (in November, March or June).
3. In the case of an oral assessment, following the submission of your Reflective Record of Practice, a member of the Academic Practice team will be in touch with you to arrange a date and time for your presentation meeting, which will involve assessors.
