Advance HE fellowships

Advance HE fellowships are formal, national qualifications recognising your teaching and learning practice. The award is highly regarded across the UK higher education sector and is increasingly being recognised by international institutions. In order to achieve an Advance HE fellowship, you will need to demonstrate your alignment to the Professional Standards Framework 2023 (PSF 2023).

All colleagues can access the University of Manchester Advance HE Fellowship Scheme (LEAP). Through the Fellowship Scheme, you can apply for all levels of Advance HE fellowship: Associate Fellow, Fellow, Senior Fellow and Principal Fellow. The programme and accompanying support is run centrally by the Institute of Teaching and Learning, but there are plenty of colleagues within FSE who are happy to have an informal chat about their own fellowship experiences if you want a bit more support.

If you need help deciding what level of fellowship to apply for, try Advance HE’s Fellowship Category Tool.
