HKBU HEA Fellowship Scheme
Introduction of HEA

The Higher Education Academy (HEA) is part of the Advance HE, which is a UK-based organisation that works with higher education across the world. The goals of Advance HE include the promotion of teaching excellence, commitment to professionalism in teaching and learning and providing support for teaching faculty, teaching staff and teaching support staff with international recognition of their practice, impact and leadership in the higher education.

The Advance HE awards the following 4 categories of Fellowship based on the UK Professional Standard Framework (UKPSF), a globally-recognised framework for benchmarking success within the higher education teaching and learning. 

  • Associate Fellowship
  • Fellowship
  • Senior Fellowship
  • Principal Fellowship

Applicants can claim these Fellowships on basis of evidence of personal professional practice which meets the requirements of the relevant Descriptors of the UKPSF.

In deciding which category of Fellowship to apply for at this stage in your career, you might need to determine which of the UKPSF Descriptors is most appropriate to your practice and professional practice. For details, please visit https://www.advance-he.ac.uk/fellowship.
