Fellowship (D2)

As a Fellowship applicant, you will go into the application process with substantive teaching and learning responsibilities. This is a brilliant opportunity for you to consolidate your personal development and evidence of professional practice in your higher education career so far. Find out more about the criteria, the application process, key dates as well as the support that’s available to you. 

Is Fellowship right for you?

Fellowship is typically  suitable for: 

  • staff in the early stages of their academic career 
  • staff holding substantive teaching and learning responsibilities 
  • experienced academics who are relatively new to higher education 

To find out more, read Descriptor 2 of Professional Standards Framework (PSF2023).

At Queen Mary you can gain Fellowship through our Teaching Recognition Programme, or by completing our taught Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP).

Ways of applying

Dialogic process

If you decide to apply using the Dialogic process, you’ll need to submit evidence of your practice using an e-portfolio, alongside supporting statements from two referees. You’ll then be invited to a Professional Dialogue to explore and discuss the evidence that you’ve provided. 

Written process

If you decide to apply using the Written process, you’ll need to submit a written Account of Professional Practice (APP) and supporting statements from two referees.

Next steps

We suggest that you review the guidance notes and, if you have any questions, book a drop-in session with the team. If you’ve decided that Fellowship is right for you, and you have considered the application route, please book onto one of our FHEA Application Drafting Workshops.
