Education Funding Opportunities

The Centre currently has five work streams (technology, assessment, inclusivity, interdisciplinarity, Languages) through which faculty-wide activities and projects are funded. Each stream has a lead responsible for encouraging, coordinating, and promoting activities.

All staff and students in the UCL Arts & Humanities are invited to contact the Director of the Centre for Humanities Education in the first place if they have an idea for an Education-related project that could be funded through the Centre. We particularly encourage expressions of interest and applications from colleagues in teaching-focussed positions as well as Education-focused Professional and Technical services staff.  We will be able provide a small amount of funds for a selection of projects each year beyond activities specifically related to the work streams.

Potential activity funding from the centre can support

• Set up a collaborative workshop with colleagues from other departments who teach similar disciplines.
• Visit another institution to learn about innovative pedagogical practices .
• Invite a leading practitioner or resercher in humanities education to give a talk or workshop. 
• Attend a conference focussed on Education or student engagement.
• Produce publicity materials for and/or recordings of education-related events and activities you have organised.
• Set up small research projects involving student collaborators to explore, for instance, effective feedback, engaging learning communities, and student experiences of learning.
• Establish study groups and reading circles exploring equality, diversity and inclusivity in education.
• Initiate as series of events focusing on careers and graduate skills involving stakeholders such as businesses, organisations, and alumni.
• Explore new methods and practices in education including use of new technologies, project-based learning, object-based learning, the use of authentic assessments, group- and peer assessments, or new approaches to academic mentoring of students.
