BU is committed to delivering an outstanding and personalised student experience, underpinned by the fusion of excellent education, research and professional practice.
This includes supporting 100% of eligible staff in achieving Higher Education Academy (HEA) Fellowship status or holding a recognised HE teaching qualification. The Centre for Excellence in Learning (CEL) is the driving force behind making that aim a reality through a range of development opportunities.
Professor Gail Thomas, Head of CEL said: 鈥淐EL has come up with different ways to support this stretching but highly important target. There are opportunities for all staff, including a new unit for Professors and Associate Professors.
鈥淐olleagues who take part in these CEL schemes all give us very positive feedback about how the experience has helped them to develop as educators. CEL can have a no more significant role than to stimulate, enthuse and inspire academics, helping them to feel more confident and well prepared to deliver high quality teaching.鈥�
