Teaching and Supervision

Within a University, teaching can take many forms, both formal and informal. You could be leading lab demonstrations or supervising postgraduate students or more junior member(s) of a research group, lecturing or teaching small classes. Teaching ability is a critical part of a researcher's portfolio, but being able to instruct and guide others is an important skill for any professional to develop.

This section will direct you to resources to help you to develop your teaching and supervision skills.

Please note that some resources are temporarily unavailable while we work on updating the Roadmap. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
