This course presents the new AdvanceHE’s Professional Standards Framework (PSF2023) which outlines the Areas of activity, Core knowledge and Professional values that you should demonstrate and evidence in your AdvanceHE application.  

In this course, we will review the requirements for Associate Fellowship (AFHEA, Descriptor 1) and Fellowship (FHEA, Descriptor 2) applications. During the course, you will have the opportunity to reflect on your practice, review some examples of reflective writing and consider how to start writing your own application.

This course is open to Research Degree Students, Postdocs & Research Fellows.
