Become a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA)

    The Academy's Professional Recognition Scheme offers individuals the opportunity to gain recognition as a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.  This is appropriate if you have an academic role with a substantial teaching commitment in higher education.

     

     

    Fellow status is closely aligned to Standard Descriptor 2 (SD2) of the UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education (UKPSF).

    Fellows form a substantial group of professionals in higher education, and benefit from a number of opportunities;

    • Helping to inform policy: Fellows helped to inform the Academy's input  to a report requested by John Denham, the Secretary of State, on the future of teaching and the student experience.
    • Contributing to and benefiting from the discpline based work at the Subject Centres.
    • Acting as Academy Reviewers for funding bids and award applications
