Advancing Competence in Teaching (ACT)

ACT – Advancing Competence in Teaching for student success is a university-wide initiative focused on developing teaching skills that reflect our commitment to interactive, research-based, multilingual teaching. Our teaching staff, who have varied backgrounds and expertise, contribute to a vibrant academic culture that enhances the learning experience for students.

Evidence-based teaching

The Advancing Competence in Teaching (ACT) initiative emphasises evidence-based teaching methods. Our academic staff leverage the latest research findings to create impactful learning experiences, ensuring that our students receive an education grounded in best practices and proven methodologies.

Higher education teaching certification

To ensure the highest standards in teaching, we proudly align our certification process with Advance HE, specifically tailored to the UK Professional Standards Framework (UK PSF2023). This alignment reflects our dedication to excellence in teaching and the internationalisation of our academic practices.

Peer learning and community of practice

Our commitment to continuous improvement extends to fostering a community of practice through events like the University Teaching Day . This annual event is intended to serve as a space for peer learning, collaboration and the sharing of innovative teaching strategies, reinforcing a culture of excellence among our teaching community.

Training opportunities

Ongoing training sessions are provided by various services for our teaching staff to ensure that they stay abreast of the latest educational trends and technologies. This commitment to training contributes to the continuous development of our staff, ultimately improving the quality of education offered to our students.
