Teaching Exchange Fellowship Scheme 2025-26

Message from Curriculum Development and Quality Assurance Section of the Registry

Teaching Exchange Fellowship Scheme

Applications are now invited for the Teaching Exchange Fellowship (TEF) Scheme. 

TEF aims to enhance the scholarship of teaching and learning at the University, including experiential learning, through enabling academic staff members to share experience and to collaborate on teaching and curriculum development initiatives at reputable universities where excellent pedagogical practices or curriculum innovation are being implemented, and to facilitate reciprocal visits to the University by academic staff of these institutions.

All full-time teaching staff with a minimum of two years of service at the University are eligible to apply.  Applicants are expected to take a leadership role in curriculum enhancement and pedagogical innovations at the departmental/Faculty level.

Details of the Scheme and application procedures can be viewed at:
