Overview
Responding to feedback from the sector, we have developed a specialist virtual programme to support cohorts of individuals to achieve Principal Fellowship.
The programme will provide guidance, dedicated writing sessions, review of a draft PSF 2023 application with one-to-one feedback, prior to direct submission to Advance HE. Led by an experienced PSF 2023 Consultant, the programme will support individuals to achieve Principal Fellowship where institutions currently don’t have accredited provision for these categories.
Programme delivery
The 12-week programme will be supported via Advance HE Connect, allowing for peer-networking, in addition to guidance from an experienced PSF 2023 Consultant.

- Final Q&A session (60 minutes) - week 12 - 10th December 2024
In addition, participants will receive a review of one full draft application plus feedback delivered via a 60-minute 1:1 session.
