University of Manchester Advance HE Fellowship Scheme

The University’s Advance HE Fellowship Scheme (formerly LEAP) will launch at the end of September 2024. The Scheme is accredited by Advance HE to award Associate Fellow, Fellow, Senior Fellow and Principal Fellow of Advance HE. The Scheme is aligned with the Professional Standards Framework 2023 (PSF 2023).

What’s the difference between UKPSF 2011 and PSF 2023?

The PSF 2023 builds on the strengths of the UKPSF but has been updated following a review acknowledging the significant changes that have taken place within Higher Education teaching and learning since 2011. PSF 2023 places more emphasis on the effectiveness and impact of teaching and the context in which it takes place, the professional values, support for students and collaboration.
