LINKS to RECORDED WEBINARS BELOW

Researchers working in academia that follow a “traditional” progression path will encounter, at some point in their career, the need to teach their expertise in a higher education system. This step is often a milestone to secure a permanent position both in Spain and in other countries such as the UK.

The Society of Spanish Researchers in the UK has designed a series of webinars to explore the different aspects of teaching in higher education from a research context. The programme has been designed and will be delivered by experts in learning and teaching, and career services. The programme has the following OBJECTIVES:

  • Help participants understand the British and Spanish systems of higher education teaching
  • Explain steps they might take towards obtaining the required qualifications and/or accreditation in the UK and Spain
  • Encourage reflection on whether this is a field that they would like to explore as researchers and how to approach initial teaching sessions.
  • Provide guidance and ideas towards the development of job and fellowship applications

The course will therefore consist of the following sessions:

  • 1st Webinar (9th November 2018. 13:00-14:00 GMT): “The British system for higher education teaching”:  LINK .HE teaching qualifications and accreditation in the UK.
