Workshops and Events
Workshops enhance knowledge on both pedagogical and technical subjects. We tailor workshops and one-on-one training sessions to departmental and individual needs. Faculty based training opportunities and support schemes are designed to give staff the resources they need to succeed.
Events are held periodically across the year to showcase L&T activities, build community, and provide a less formal space for professional development.
Awards
Performance is recognised in the Faculty of Arts Learning and Teaching Awards and the Vice Chancellor’s Learning and Teaching Awards, which highlight and reward excellence in contributions to learning and teaching, innovation and leadership.
