Entry requirements
To enrol in the program, you must be employed by UNSW and be teaching or have recent teaching experience, or supporting design and development, within a formal university course and/or workshops and/or seminars for students or staff. The FULT program focuses on continued teaching development and is not an induction program. The program builds on the participants' prior teaching experience; therefore, we recommend that participants have taught at a university for at least one semester/term before attending FULT.
Please note: If you have no teaching experience and are currently completing a research degree please register your interest in the Beginning to Teach Program. For UNSW Canberra, please email [email protected] to register your interest in Graduate Teaching Training Program (GTTP).
Please note: you must be teaching or have recent teaching experience while you are participating in FULT.
Completion requirements
The program has a combination of online and in-class activities. Both are essential for successfully completing the program.
The time allocation expected for completing the four Moodle Modules in FULT is 10 hours per module (2 hours face-to-face, 4 hours for assessment tasks, 4 hours for online material) totalling 40 hours for the program. After completing the program you will receive the FULT Certificate of Completion. The FULT certificate can be included in your teaching portfolio, and in applications for promotion and other forms of recognition.
AFHEA Accreditation
Applying for Associate Fellowship, Higher Education Academy (AFHEA)
The UNSW FULT Program is accredited by Advance HE, with participants who successfully complete the program eligible to apply for the award of Associate Fellow, Higher Education Academy (AFHEA).
Fellowships are a means of acknowledging commitment to professionalism in learning and teaching in higher education. They are based on the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF), which sets out the knowledge, skills and values demonstrated by those teaching and/or supporting learning in higher education. This is a globally recognised framework for benchmarking success within higher education teaching and learning support. HEA Fellowship is a new pathway that recognises UNSW staff commitment to learning and teaching.
The following requirements must be met in order to be awarded AFHEA:
- recent experience in teaching, or supporting educational design and development, either, while you are completing FULT or in the term preceding or following FULT
- successfully completion of all four FULT assessment tasks
- submission of a supporting statement (from a referee)
