Learning and Teaching at Surrey

Welcome to the Learning and Teaching site of the University of Surrey. Here you'll find information about learning and teaching strategy, policies and resources for staff across the University.

As a University, we aim to provide the highest quality student learning experience that combines academic rigour, personal and professional development and employability through introducing students to the most up-to-date knowledge that will enhance and develop their skills for independent academic study, digital media literacy, innovation, and working in professional contexts.

The strategy for Learning and Teaching is directed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Development), Professor Gill Nicholls, working with senior colleagues across the University through the University Learning and Teaching Committee (ULTC) and Senate.

Within Faculties, Learning and Teaching strategy is overseen by dedicated Associate Deans. Further information on ULTC and its subcommitees is provided in the Committees page. You can also find details of some key staff and their responsibilities in our Contacts page.

Learning and Teaching is supported through a range of Central Service departments, including:

Centre for Educational and Academic Development

The Centre for Educational and Academic Development (CEAD) works collaboratively with academic staff and other professional services to enhance teaching, learning and assessment and the evaluation of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

Library and Learning Support

Library and Learning Support is one provider of advice and guidance whether you are on or off campus.
