Staff training

The Faculty is committed to providing an environment where teaching and learning is at the core of what we do, and we will support and develop our staff to provide excellent teaching delivery.

Learning and Teaching Development Programme

The FoNS Learning and Teaching Development Programme (LTDP) constitutes the training for all new lecturing staff within the Faculty of Natural Sciences and must be completed as a prerequisite for both probation and promotion- unless the member of staff is registered to complete the PG Cert in University Learning and Teaching via the EDU. Successful completion of all elements of the LTDP will also lead to staff being eligible for recognition as a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
