The Middlesex University Academic Professional Apprenticeship (APA) is an evidence-based, nationally recognised and highly structured pathway to support and help develop academic professionals across the university sector in all aspects of academic practice. This will include roles that focus on teaching and/or research. Accredited by the Higher Education Academy (now Advance HE), the programme is aligned to the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF).
The APA will offer a substantial development opportunity to staff across the University and will help continue to support and facilitate ongoing professional learning and best practice. The APA programme will also include the completion of the PGCert HE award. The programme may also be available to collaborative partner and external applicants.
From September 2019, all academic staff who are new to teaching (unless otherwise exempt – please refer to full guidelines) will be required to undertake our APA programme and complete the PGCert HE.
During the period of time as an APA, they are an employee earning a wage (at least the Apprenticeship Minimum Wage) usually working at least 30 hours per week (or 0.8 full time equivalent), but they are also a full student of Middlesex University with the same access and entitlements to services and support as they undertake their programme.
Applicants are required to be actively working with students in an education context, in either a teaching role or a support role involving substantial teaching responsibilities at the minimum equivalent of 0.5 FTE
Applicants will normally be expected to possess a UK honours or equivalent international degree qualification (normally classified 2:1 or above) in, or related to, the candidate’s area of higher education practice
Applicants, who are not graduates, that can demonstrate significant professional practice experience and expertise within a subject discipline or other appropriate , and who have been employed to work with students because of that expertise, may also be admitted to the programme.
