Formation 2017-[edit]
Advance HE was formed in March 2018 by the merger of the Equality Challenge Unit, the Higher Education Academy and the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education.[1], following Recommendation 1 of the Universities UK (UUK) and GuildHE's review of UK higher education sector agencies. [2]
Professional recognition of teaching in Higher Education[edit]
Fellowships of the Higher Education Academy and professional recognition[edit]
Although the Higher Education Academy was legally disbanded in 2018 AdvanceHE, continues to award Fellowships of the Higher Education Academy.[3] There remain four categories of Fellowship:
- AFHEA – Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
- FHEA – Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
- SFHEA – Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
- PFHEA – Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
The Associate Fellow grade represents the minimum level of competence expected of any university teacher, with the Fellow grade representing the level normally required in an established academic post.[4] These grades can be awarded on the basis of an assessed portfolio (containing a candidate's statement and supporting references) or on completion of an accredited course such as a PGCHE or PGCAP. The higher grades of Senior Fellow and Principal Fellow represent significant leadership in the promotion of teaching excellence, and are only awarded on the basis of an assessed portfolio.[4]
