What is the Sydney Educational Fellowship Program?

Achieving Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (HEA, now known as Advance HE). Fellowships comes in four categories: Associate, Fellow, Senior and Principal. There are several benefits to educational fellowship, including being able to join a community of over 200 fellows here at the University of Sydney and gain international recognition for your teaching. 

Writing for Fellowship

While the HEA Fellowship application is essentially another a ‘teaching case’, the format and requirements of this differ significantly to that of teaching award and promotion applications. The style also differs from standard academic writing. The format and the requirements are unique. Writing a successful fellowship application means more than just having the right experience for a particular category of fellowship. A good fellowship application will showcase and explain your experience (often to a mixed disciplinary panel) in a way that makes it abundantly clear how your work meets the criteria.
