  • In the event that a researcher is allocated lecturing, tutoring or lab supervision duties, hours spent on pre and post teaching activities count towards the 50 hours ceiling.
  • The activity can be undertaken at any time of the year (i.e. outside of term), for example, tutorials for repeat examinations in the summer etc.
  • Teaching activities are considered to be part of the role of the Researcher and no additional remuneration applies.
  • Teaching activities are allocated by the relevant Head of School.
