Academic Development Opportunities
To support the professional development of staff at the Coventry University Group, we have collected a range of opportunities that allow staff to engage in a series of events around six themes.
The opportunities are listed under each of the themes below, and additional sessions will be added and shared on the course booking system as they become available. When the sessions are live on the course booking system the booking link for each session will be updated.
There are events available and relevant for both new and experienced academic staff interested in developing, enhancing, and updating their professional practice as an educator.
In addition to the opportunities listed below and organised by colleagues across the Coventry University Group, have a look at our dedicated page for external opportunities.
