Fellowships in Learning and Teaching

Advance HE (formerly Higher Education Academy) UK

The vision of Advance HE is to ensure that higher education has a world-class reputation and is recognised for transforming lives, enriching society and developing the economy for the better. The aims are:

  • to create an inclusive culture that champions the continuous development of teaching, leadership and research; and
  • to promote professional practices in higher education that lead to improved outcomes for the benefit of students, staff and society.

Advance HE, through their Higher Education Academy (HEA), offers a Fellowship Scheme that recognises personal and institutional commitment to professionalism in learning and teaching in higher education.

There are four categories of fellowship – Associate Fellow, Fellow, Senior Fellow and Principal Fellow. Individuals can identify their expertise with the entitlement to use post-nominal letters (AFHEA, FHEA, SFHEA, PFHEA).The fellowship Scheme provides individuals with recognition of their practice, impact and leadership in teaching and learning. Fellowships are embedded in the UK Professional Standards Framework and have been adopted by increasing numbers of higher education institutions.
