A Code of Practice for Fellows

This Code of Practice is a set of principles and expectations for individuals gaining Fellowship. Advance HE defines 'maintaining our professional practice' as continuing to work in accordance with the Professional Standards Framework (PSF 2023) for teaching and supporting learning in higher education.

In our professional practice, as Fellows we will:

1. Act with respect, integrity and honesty.

2. Monitor and critically evaluate our practice to maintain effectiveness in line with the Professional Standards Framework (PSF).

3. Engage in appropriate activities to remain up to date with knowledge of learning and teaching, subject matter and assessment.

4. Be open to, and conscientious in, responding to feedback from appraisals, peer and student observations.

For the benefit of learners, as Fellows we will:

1. Demonstrate our respect for learners by paying due regard to the way we conduct ourselves in our professional lives.

2. Be fair, impartial and intentionally focused on equitable outcomes in our engagement with learners.

3. Encourage the free exchange of ideas between learners and ourselves.

For the benefit of colleagues, as Fellows we will:

1. Show due respect for the opinions of colleagues in the exchange of constructive criticism and ideas.

2. Support and actively assist in the professional development of colleagues to ensure effective practice is developed, maintained and enhanced.

3. Be aware and take account of, the educational goals, policies, standards and regulations of our employing institution and wider context.

Which category of Fellowship is right for you?

The Fellowship Category Tool has been designed to assist you in selecting the category of Fellowship that is the closest match to your current practice.

The tool consists of a set of statements that are aligned to the different PSF Dimensions of the Framework and Descriptors of the Professional Standards Framework (PSF 2023). For those wishing to apply for Fellowship under the UKPSF 2011 please use the previous version of this tool. This self-analysis tool will ask about your professional activities in teaching and or supporting learning in higher education. You will be asked about the range of activities you undertake in your practice.

By using the tool to consider your current practice, your choice of statements as you progress should help to inform which category of Fellowship is most appropriate for you. There are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers: the statements in each section are associated with specific elements of the PSF, and the answers you select will reflect your personal practice and should help to indicate the most appropriate category of Fellowship for you.

When you have completed all of the sections, you will be shown your results and a PDF report summarising your responses will be sent to the email address you provide. This will be useful as you start to put your application together for Fellowship or to reflect on your on-going professional development and career aspirations.
