Building on the success of the gaining academic promotions programme held in 2022, we were delighted to run this programme again in October 2023, under the new name Preparing for Promotion - Academic, Research and Teaching Staff.

This programme is aimed at giving academic, research and teaching staff the best chance of achieving academic promotion.

This programme covers all stages of academic career progression. With strong input from the Athena Swan, Race Equality Charter and EDI teams, and the Faculty Offices, this programme has been designed to ensure academic promotion is available to all staff, and to encourage staff that have been underrepresented in the past to put forward academic promotion cases.

The programme will consist of a welcome by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Steve Bradley, an Institutional update by Phill Dixon, Director of People and Organisational Effectiveness, presentations on the promotions criteria, case studies and faculty input.

This programme will run again in September 2024 with the exact timetable being announced in the 2024 Summer term. To register your interest please contact OD.
