Education Fellowship Programmes
Our AdvanceHE-accredited Cardiff University Education Fellowship Programmes help staff develop their learning and teaching and gain recognition for their professional practice.
The Cardiff University Education Fellowship Programmes equip staff with the skills that they need to become effective educators and are designed to be engaging, light-touch and practice-focussed.
The programmes have been co-developed by a wide range of staff and students to meet the needs of participants and the University.
