UCL Arena Centre launches new Arena Senior Fellowship pathway
23 April 2018
New sessions are available to support staff in applying for Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy through UCL Arena

The UCL Arena Centre for Research-based Education is offering more support to staff wanting to apply for a Senior Fellowship.
It comprises a five-week structured course (five two-hour sessions) for UCL staff who are interested in applying for Senior Fellow (SFHEA) of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).
The sessions are not compulsory (except for the opening session), but provide staff with support and guidance on different aspects of their application. The new pathway is being provided to encourage more of our staff who have leadership experience in teaching and learning to apply for this category of Fellowship and to offer additional support and guided writing time to those staff.
For more information, please contact Jason Davies, who will be running Arena Senior Fellow (j.p.davies@ucl.ac.uk) or Patrick Baughan, Arena Programme Director (p.baughan@ucl.ac.uk).
