Career progress and appraisal for academic staff
The University's career progress and appraisal of academic staff policies are closely aligned to its Mission Statement, which highlights organisational efficiency and effectiveness, achieved and maintained by appropriately skilled, experienced and motivated staff.
An annual Memorandum from the Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor provides an overview of academic annual review and its associated processes. Academic staff are required to complete an Academic Portfolio of Achievement covering teaching and supervision, scholarship of teaching, research and creative work and service and engagement according to the Application Submission Timetable.
Coupled with the Achievements and Objectives document, this forms the basis for annual reviews with the academic supervisor. The Head or academic supervisor discusses the staff member's achievements and his or her targets/plans for the next year and provides recommendations on the processes listed in the “In this section” menu below (relevant guidelines, policies and forms may be accessed through this menu).
