Staff training

The Faculty is committed to providing an environment where teaching and learning is at the core of what we do, and we will support and develop our staff to provide excellent teaching delivery.

Learning and Teaching Development Programme

The FoNS Learning and Teaching Development Programme (LTDP), in most cases, must be completed as a prerequisite for both probation and promotion for new lecturing staff (and in some cases those in the Learning and Teaching job family). An exemption may be agreed by the new staff member's department in certain circumstances.
