Advance HE (HEA) Fellowship Recognition
There are over 219,000 Advance HE Fellows worldwide. Our Northumbria University Professional Recognition Scheme (NUPRS) supports colleagues in gaining Advance HE Fellowship by reflecting on the impact of their education practice and contribution to student learning.
NUPRS is designed to celebrate what our colleagues already do well; inviting them to explore the Professional Values and Core Knowledge that underpin their work and benchmark practice against internationally recognised standards. Accredited by Advance HE, the scheme offers two tailored routes, the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP) and the NUPRS Experiential Route.
Two Routes to Fellowship at Northumbria
Across both routes, NUPRS provides opportunity to gain professional recognition, enhance profiles, and join a network committed to shaping outstanding student experiences.
Colleagues are encouraged to participate in the pathway that best aligns with their experience and role.

NUPRS (Experiential) |
