贰顿厂听work with, and support, academic staff at all levels from across the University by providing access to a range of development opportunities to help staff improve skills in curriculum design and learning and teaching practice.聽
We can help via the following:

| SEDA courses | These are short courses for inexperienced staff new to learning and teaching in HE and for experienced staff wishing to develop specific aspects of their practice. Following each course there is the opportunity to submit an assignment to receive an accredited qualification. |
| Other EDS workshops and short courses | These are non-accredited sessions run by EDS to help you improve on specific aspects of your teaching practice. |
