We have mapped our programmes to the seven stages of the Development Pathway that follows a career in HE. Each opportunity has been designed to promote sharing experiences and best practice, develop peer support networks and provide a global perspective.

My colleagues are finding participation in the Academic Leadership Programme (ALP) hugely valuable, one participant has just volunteered to take on the role of Interim Programme Leader for a complex professional programme, and I’m certain that they would not have done this if they had not been participating in the ALP.”
