Thank you for visiting the web pages of the Academic Development and Practice Unit. We hope you find the information links on this site informative, useful and stimulating.

Unit Aims

The aim of the Academic Development and Practice Unit is to work closely with departments to help the University provide an outstanding student experience. We do this by helping HE practitioners to: 

• engage with the nature of  learning in all its forms,
• provide excellent inclusive learning, teaching and assessment and
• reflect on HE practice and take on new developments.

While believing that the underpinning of an excellent inclusive education is outstanding practitioners; the Unit also recognises that promoting an excellent experience requires effective mechanism to promote appropriate curriculum design, management and quality enhancement. The Unit therefore actively engages in helping departments to develop new programmes, take on new initiatives and use monitoring and enhancement processes.

The aim of these web pages is to allow you to view and access materials that will help you consider your practice in relation to students. They contain:

• information about the work of the unit,
• information and guidance produced by the Unit, such as our guide to personal tutoring, and
• links to other useful sources, such as links to funding sources

If you have a suggestion for an area of work that you wish the Unit to work on or a discussion you would like us to lead please let us know and we will be happy to talk about your ideas.for regular questions about learning, teaching and assessment in higher education and links to further resources.
