Teaching Support

Teaching Support

The Teaching Enhancement Unit (TEU) plays a pivotal role in nurturing the growth of academic staff by fostering innovation in teaching and learning, advancing educational research, and providing day-to-day support in educational technology. The unit offers a diverse array of professional development modules aimed at enhancing teaching practices.

The Sipping Point, a relaxed monthly gathering crafted to facilitate knowledge exchange among staff from various disciplines, is frequented by our colleagues. 

Here, educators converge to share invaluable insights and best practices in teaching, creating an enriching environment for collaborative learning and professional growth. Visit the TEU
