Using a research-led and evidence-based approach, we enhance learning and teaching across the disciplines. We provide academic leadership and give direction to the continued professional development of practising university teachers. We help university staff to achieve teaching excellence in academic practice.
We provide a framework for the teaching qualifications of academics and academic-related staff, ensuring consistency of standards across the University and offers certificated programmes and academic development opportunities.
We collaborate with colleagues across faculties in the implementation of the strategic priorities set out in the University’s Learning and Teaching Strategy and in the evaluation of pedagogic practice related to innovation in teaching and learning.
We support practising university teachers by:
- Providing courses, workshops and development events for academic and academic-related staff at the University of Surrey
- Fostering approaches to learning, teaching and educational policy that are informed by current research
- Maintaining a focus on enquiry into student learning
In addition to the qualifications we offer, we are involved in research into higher education that has gained international recognition.
