UWTSD Honorary Professors of Practice

At UWTSD, we work in partnership with Industrial experts and Professionals to enhance our offer of learning opportunities for both students and staff. Recognising individuals within industry through our Honorary Professors of Practice award is one way that we secure avenues for knowledge and skills sharing.

Professor of Practice framework

Our Honorary Professor of Practice framework offers opportunities for Professional and Industrial experts to pass on their subject knowledge to our students and ‘give back’ back to the communities they serve.

It is not a remunerated position, but it is an opportunity to make a difference in our students’ journey and transform lives. Our Professor of Practice contribution enables students and staff to learn, grow and ‘pay it forward’ to the community.

Honorary Professors of Practice are nominated by a senior member (Dean or above) of the University staff.  The nomination follows a thorough scrutiny process that ensures appropriate standards are upheld in appointing the nominee for the Professor of Practice role.

Our current bank of Professors of Practice covers many aspects of the strategic work, and their representation is specifically aligned with the University’s strategic priorities.
