Senior Fellowship Support Programmes
We have developed specialist virtual programmes to support individuals as part of a cohort to achieve Senior Fellowship. The programmes will provide guidance, dedicated writing sessions, review of a draft PSF 2023 application with one-to-one feedback, before direct submission to Advance HE. These programmes, led by an experienced PSF 2023 Consultant, will support individuals to develop an application for Senior Fellowship in a structured way over 12 weeks, as part of a cohort, and will be of particular interest to those institutions that currently don’t have accredited provision for this category.

Senior Fellow Writing Retreats
The online Advance HE Senior Fellow Writing Retreat is an invaluable opportunity to take some time and space to progress your application to become a Senior Fellow, receiving expert analysis and feedback in the process. Held over one day, the retreat offers you the chance to transform your notes and thoughts into an application aligned with the criteria for Senior Fellowship of the Professional Standards Framework for Teaching and Supporting Learning in Higher Education (PSF 2023).
Senior Fellowship is suitable for individuals whose comprehensive understanding and effective practice provide a basis from which they lead or influence those who teach and/or support high-quality learning.
