International Teaching Excellence Bursaries

The UCL International Teaching Excellence Bursaries form part of a drive to expand UCL’s profile as an internationally recognised centre of teaching excellence. A key aspect of achieving this aim is increasing international teaching and learning exchanges that advance collaborative innovations and deepen strategic links with overseas partners in a range of regions around the world. These links will support the collaborative development of innovative teaching and learning resources that can be shared across the wider UCL community.

Following a successful first round of the UCL International Teaching Excellence Bursaries earlier in 2012, UCL is inviting staff to submit applications in a second round of the awards.

Interested parties at UCL are invited to apply for these bursaries and, in addition, applications are welcome from those in overseas institutions who wish to visit UCL as part of this scheme.

Guidelines, frequently asked questions and the application form can be found below. The deadline for applications is Thursday 31 January 2013 (midnight GMT).
