Achieving\u00a0Fellowship<\/a>\u00a0of the Higher Education Academy (HEA, now known as\u00a0Advance HE<\/a>). Fellowships comes in four categories:\u00a0Associate, Fellow, Senior and Principal.

Writing for Fellowship<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/article>\n
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 can be quite particular and, as a result, can often catch people off guard. Writing a successful fellowship application means more than just having the right experience for your level\/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\u00a0<\/em>your work meets the criteria.<\/p>\n

2018 Writing Workshops<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To support people in applying for fellowship, Educational Innovation is running several workshops that will provide all applicants (AFHEA, FHEA, SFHEA and PFHEA) and potential applicants with the guidance necessary to showcase their teaching. Each workshop offers the opportunity to\u00a0receive guidance and feedback on any writing you have already done. If you have yet to start writing, do not worry as the workshop will also be a chance to receive an overview of process. Educational Innovation can also advise on which category of fellowship to pursue, for those who are uncertain.<\/p>\n

The workshop will cover:<\/strong><\/h5>\n
