Advance HE Fellowship is a nationally recognised indicator of professional achievement for higher education practitioners. It confers the right to use the titles Associate Fellow, Fellow, Senior Fellow and Principal Fellow.
Fellowship is achieved by demonstrating how your practice in teaching and/or supporting learning in HE meets the criteria laid out within the Professional Standards Framework (PSF 2023).
How to apply for Fellowship
The University is accredited to award all categories of fellowship through our internal Recognising Teaching Excellence scheme. Support is provided through a cohort model with two intakes per year. The next cohort is expected to begin in late 2026/early 2027 - registration will be advertised via Academic Digest.
Please read our guidance pages on this site for more information or email recognitionofteaching@shu.ac.uk if you have any questions.
