The University's commitment to the delivery of a high quality academic experience for our students is coupled with a commitment to ensuring that all staff, where appropriate have AdvanceHE Fellowship. This includes all academic staff, and those in professional services directorates who work in roles which directly impact the success and achievement of our students, for example, Learning and Teaching Librarians, Careers and Employability Consultants, Academic Skills Advisors, Learning Designers and Technical Learning Instructors.
