Postgraduate Teaching Assistants (PGTAs)

Here you will find essential information and guidance for PGTAs including the PGTA Code of Practice and professional development.

UCL Postgraduate Teaching Assistant Hub

The PGTA Hub contains teaching opportunities, policies and procedure, resources, case studies and more to help UCL PGTAs develop their teaching at UCL.

Postgraduate Teaching Assistant Code of Practice

Full details of UCL's Postgraduate Teaching Assistant Scheme, including information for PGTAs on pay, terms of employment and teaching load/duties can be found in HR's Postgraduate Teaching Assistant Code of Practice.

UCL Arena Professional Development for PGTAs

All PGTAs must undertake appropriate development activities to support their teaching practice. UCL's Arena Centre for Research-Based Education offers a scheme for such training and development of PGTAs, called UCL Arena One.  

There are three steps in this developmental pathway:

  •     Gateway workshop - mandatory for all PGTAs
  •     The Teaching Associate Programme (TAP) - optional
  •     Application for HEA Fellowship - optional

Further development

The Doctoral Skills Development Programme has also other development opportunities that can support and enhance students' teaching roles.
