GETTING STARTED

Before actually starting your application, it is our experience that most people find it beneficial to have a basic understanding of the contextual background of fellowship including the different categories of fellowship open to you.

Associate Fellowship (D1), Fellowship (D2) and Senior Fellowship (D3)

For those looking at D1-D3, the first thing you should do  is to watch our ‘Getting Started Guide’ video.

Once you have done this you should book onto a Development Workshop. Our feedback strongly suggests that this will save you a lot of time in the long run and allow you to make good progress in the right direction from the start.

After attending a workshop, you can then register for the TALENT scheme and attend Writing Retreats for ongoing support with your application. 

This flowchart gives an overview of the application and review process for D1-D3 (click to enlarge and download).

Further comprehensive information for D1-D3 can be found in the Application Process pages in the main menu above, which will take you through developing, compiling and submitting your application. 

Principal Fellowship (D4)

If you are interested in Principal Fellowship (D4) you should watch the D4 Principal Fellow video (available soon), undertake the Advance HE Category tool and then contact talent@shu.ac.uk for the next steps.

Principal Fellowship is undertaken via a ‘cohort’ approach – further information can be found on the Principal Fellowship application process page.
