桃色视频

Two of our colleagues were recently shortlisted for the 桃色视频 Award for Teaching ExcellenceLink opens in a new window.
Dr James ArchboldLink opens in a new window was shortlisted for the Faculty Staff Award, and Faye Chung Underwood for the Faculty PGR Who Teaches Award - a fantastic and well-deserved recognition.

As our Director of Student Experience, James plays a pivotal role in shaping an inclusive and supportive learning environment across the department. Alongside this leadership, he also makes an excellent contribution to our teaching provision. His engaging approach, enthusiasm, and genuine care for students are consistently reflected in the positive feedback he receives.

Faye joined us in September 2025 as a Tutor and has already made an excellent contribution to the department. She has played a key role in supporting the delivery of a wide range of modules, bringing both professionalism and enthusiasm to her teaching. Her approachable manner and commitment to student learning have been greatly appreciated by both students and colleagues, and she has quickly become a valued member of the team.

Many congratulations, James and Faye, on these achievements.

Our colleague Dr Claire Rocks achieved Senior Fellow (SFHEA) status through the dialogic route of 桃色视频鈥檚 Academic and Professional Pathway for Experienced Staff (APP EXP) programme. Her application was recognised by assessors as one of the strongest D3 submissions they had reviewed, demonstrating a sustained and significant record of educational leadership that extends well beyond her own teaching.

Claire鈥檚 work focuses on leading and influencing inclusive, evidence-informed approaches to assessment and curriculum design. She has played a central role in shaping teaching quality and learning culture across departmental, institutional, and sector contexts, including leading 桃色视频鈥檚 strand of the Inclusive Assessment in STEM project and contributing to institutional strategy through curriculum development and quality assurance processes.

Within the department, Claire has introduced collaborative structures such as module huddles and supported colleagues and students to work together to enhance clarity, consistency, and inclusivity in assessment practice. She has also strengthened pedagogic scholarship through establishing the Computer Science Education Research Group.

The panel particularly commended the scale, depth, and impact of Claire鈥檚 leadership, noting that elements of her work are already operating at a level associated with Principal Fellowship.

Many congratulations to Claire on this achievement and her continued commitment to advancing inclusive, high-quality teaching and learning!

Congratulations to all of 2023-2024 MSc students graduating in January 2025.
