In a rapidly evolving educational landscape characterised by digital transformation, diverse student populations, and changing expectations, educators need adaptive teaching strategies more than ever. Our Teaching Skills Masterclasses are designed to equip faculty with practical tools and approaches to:
- Navigate hybrid learning environments that balance flexibility with engagement
- Implement inclusive teaching practices to support increasingly diverse student cohorts
- Integrate digital technologies that enhance rather than complicate the learning experience
- Develop authentic assessment strategies that prepare students for real-world challenges
- Foster student wellbeing and resilience alongside academic achievement
The Teaching Skills Masterclass offers a flexible and evidence-based solution for the development of university-level teachers, drawing on Advance HE's extensive global experience delivering teacher development programmes across the UK, Asia, Africa, Australasia, Europe and the Middle East.
This programme is only available for institutional purchase and is not run as an open programme for individuals.

Advance HE delivers Teaching Skills Masterclass to academics from across Vietnam
Advance HE has delivered a Teaching Skills Masterclass (TSMC) programme to academics in Vietnam, generously funded by the World Bank. The programme, hosted by the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) at Vietnamese-German University (VGU), brought together 30 academics from institutions across Vietnam to develop and enhance their online teaching practices.
"The participants have all returned to their respective universities, inspired to start using the techniques and tools so competently demonstrated by the Advance HE team, and to share their new-found knowledge and skills with their colleagues.”
Dr Mark Spittle, Director of CETL, Vietnamese-German University
