Social Responsibility in the Curriculum – applications open for Semester 2 modules

27 Oct 2025

Applications for the Faculty's Social Responsibility in the Curriculum fund are now open until Monday, 24 November.

The Faculty is welcoming applications for our Social Responsibility in the Curriculum Fund. Any course unit leader or programme director of an undergraduate or postgraduate taught course can submit a proposal. We will accept repeat applications, but modules can receive funding for a maximum of two iterations, as colleagues will need to work to embed the interventions into modules going forward. In all cases, the proposal must be for the enhancement of an existing module or programme or the incorporation of explicit social responsibility emphasis in a new module.

The aim is for students to be encouraged to consider how their enthusiasm for their subject can communicate, connect or be relevant beyond the immediate demands of their course. The maximum award that can be applied for is £1,000 per module, although colleagues may ask for additional funds (up to £3,000) if the activity involves multiple modules from the same programme or engages students across multiple programmes.

Please complete the online application form by Monday, 24 November at 5pm.

For any queries, please email Social Responsibility and Environmental Sustainability Manager, Roz Webster.

Applications will be reviewed by a panel convened by the Vice Dean for Social Responsibility. Awards will be announced in December. Funds must be spent by 31 July 2026.
