Dr Harriet Lahiff, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine, recently participated in the HLS Teaching Experience Initiative to gain valuable teaching experience alongside her teaching qualifications.

The HLS Teaching Experience Initiative led by Carl Sheridan and Rachel Floyd was relaunched in 2024 and complements the Foundations in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (FLTHE) programme offered by the University’s Academy, which serves as a pathway to the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP). This provides participants with hands-on experience in supporting teaching sessions and developing teaching materials.
