GTA allocation and application process

A Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) is a person employed by the University to provide teaching and learning support to academic staff. The support they provide in FSE is a fundamental element of our success in delivering an outstanding teaching, learning and student experience. Their contribution is both recognised and valued within the University and by future employers.

As a GTA you are given the opportunity to gain invaluable work experience in HE to teach, mentor, support and assess students, which involves explaining concepts, marking work and helping with a wide range of teaching activities.

Whilst the role of a TA will largely be influenced by the Department's requirements, it is expected that GTAs will adhere to the generic job descriptions defined by the University and comply with the FSE Teaching Assistant Policy. Further information about GTA roles and responsibilities is available in the Teaching Assistant roles guidance.

The FSE GTA Job Description provides further details of the role and responsibilities.
