Opportunities

DULTA

The Durham University Learning and Teaching Award provides an opportunity to develop and enhance your practice in learning and teaching. Tyhe programme is open to all postgraduate research students, post-docs and part-time teaching staff who have taught in Durham for a minimum of 30 hours in the previous two years. Successful completion of the programme leads to the University award and also to Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy, the UK professional body for teaching and learning in higher education.

The Key Skills Award for Postgraduate Researchers

The Durham Key Skills Award provides a means by which you can gain certification of your skills development. Based on national skills standards, participants collect evidence of their skills development, and submit a reflective portfolio for assessment.

Evidence can be drawn from academic and non-academic contexts…think creatively about the evidence you can include to show how you have developed communication, IT, analytical, teamworking, research and problemsolving skills. The Researcher Development Team will run a series of workshops and discussion sessions (lunch provided) to support you through this process.
