THE OPPORTUNITY
’THE TOP MODERN UNIVERSITY IN THE UK’
2
IN ‘THE TIMES GOOD UNIVERSITY GUIDE’
Robert Gordon University is a dynamic, modern institution with an enviable international reputation, and is consistently ranked amongst the UK’s top universities for graduate employment. Placing students at the centre of its thinking, the University aspires to be a distinctive university known for the impact of its teaching & research, its interdisciplinary approach and its relevance to the modern world within the region, the country and internationally.
In order to meet these challenges you will need to be able to demonstrate a wide range of technical and interpersonal skills. You will be an experienced and inspirational teacher with a proven track record of leading development and promoting change. You will have confidence in your ability to work flexibly with staff and students from different subject disciplines. Qualified to a professional level you will have experience of learning, teaching and assessment practice, evaluation techniques, implementation of new tools including on-line learning, and preferably experience of work-based learning and the internationalisation of education.
The quality of education at Robert Gordon has been a central theme of its success. Through the work of the Department of Enhancement of Learning, Teaching and Assessment (DELTA) the University intends to maintain its pre-eminent position through the continued development and implementation of leading edge best practice. DELTA is responsible for providing focus and support for the development of academic practice across all areas of the University. As Head of Teaching Futures you will report to the Dean of DELTA and have direct responsibility for supporting implementation of the learning and teaching strategy within schools. Key aspects will include: supporting academic heads of school, course leaders and course teams on enhancement and development projects; promoting the identification and implementation of effective practice; providing CPD support for both recently appointed and experienced staff; working with student representatives on engagement and enhancement projects. In order to do this you will be required to interact with staff and student representatives to encourage, communicate and champion new developments in education practice. You will also be expected to work effectively with other support services, to promote implementation of quality assurance and enhancement processes and to support commercial learning developments (e.g. in-company, work-based learning).
- THREE YEARS IN A ROW 3
DEPARTMENT FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT PURPOSE AND FOCUS The department was created in 2006, through the merger of four formerly separate departments, with a new strategic focus. Our purpose is to promote and support development and enhancement of learning, teaching and assessment across the university. Our focus is on student learning, including all forms of delivery and engagement. Our view of the concept of “enhancement” is: • making it better -any aspect of learning or student experience
• making the best use of opportunities and resources
We are learner-centred, staff-facing. Our direct clients are staff and others with learning and teaching responsibilities. Our services are focused on promoting: • a high quality, effective learning experience for RGU learners
• enhancement and new developments
WHAT WE DO We provide services and support for: • implementation of university strategy for learning and teaching, which forms the first strand of “A Clear Future: Building on Success” • implementation of policies for quality assurance and enhancement, principally development of new courses and review of existing courses
• development and use of online learning technologies
• initial and continuing professional development for staff in learning and teaching practice, including use of technologies Our priorities and activities are aligned to: • the university strategy “a Clear Future: Building on Success”, and priorities identified through annual planning processes
• the organisation structure of the university
• quality assurance and enhancement policy and processes
4
Our approach is client-centred, supporting:
We promote a teamwork approach across the department to collectively fulfil our responsibilities. All members are expected and encouraged to:
• networks of school-based Learning Enhancement Co-ordinators and e-Learning Advisers
• contribute to any of the department’s activities, within workload allocation and personal capability
• staff of the university who teach and support students
• share resources and opportunities
• develop and extend their personal capability
HOW WE WORK
• students who use the university’s e-learning environment, and our study support services
Individual roles and organisational groupings are intended to promote clarity and efficiency -not to create partitioned silos.
We recognise that our funding comes through the activities of our clients. We aim to offer effective services, efficiently, making best use of our resources, and respecting the time of our clients and their learners.
We look both inwards and outwards, aiming to support: • identification and sharing of effective practice within the university

THE PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
The University prides itself in producing highly valued graduates. Our clear focus on professional education coupled with strong links to the public and third sectors and to the science industry, means the University has one of the UK’s best graduate employment records. Our Estates Master Plan has created the best riverside campus in Europe. This, together with our Virtual Learning Environment, will assure continued provision of a first class learning experience for all our students, both on and off campus.

“I have really enjoyed the course, especially getting out into the clinical area and seeing and learning from other midwives and interacting with women and families. This experience has been everything I had hoped for and more.” Stephanie Archibald

that provides students with real advantages as they embark upon their professional careers. We have invested to create a state-of-the-art campus at Garthdee, complemented by our virtual learning environment. These are the achievements of the staff and students of the RGU community, who will continue to be central to what the university can achieve in the future. While these developments have been crucial to the university’s success and will still support us in the future, they will not however be enough, because everything around us continues to change.

years, increasing numbers of international students have made ours a truly international campus. 19% of the total student population come from outside the EU. Expanding our cultural and commercial links with overseas organisations has helped to create many exciting opportunities for our staff and students to work abroad. Our commitment to internationalisation is evident in the establishment of an International College at the University in partnership with Navitas. Following the launch of the College in September 2011, we expect to significantly increase our recruitment of international undergraduate students at a time when our recruitment of international postgraduate students is coming under greater pressure.

PROBERT GORDON UNIVERSITY IS LOCATED IN ABERDEEN WHICH IS SCOTLAND’S THIRD LARGEST CITY WITH A POPULATION IN EXCESS OF 200,000 AND 400,000 INCLUDING THE WIDER ABERDEEN HINTERLAND.
The city is known internationally as the undisputed European capital of the energy industry. However, it also has many other sides to its character. Not least because it is located on the edge of the world renowned Scottish Highlands and the spectacular Cairngorms - a magnet for walkers, climbers and skiers from across the UK. Aberdeen is undeniably a wealthy city; it has one of the highest per capita incomes of any city after London in the UK. Such prosperity brings many benefits. The city boasts first-class facilities. Shopping and leisure opportunities are constantly expanding. Schooling at all levels is well catered for – with secondary schooling, in particular, recognised for its quality in both the public and private sectors. The hotel sector continues to expand its full range of provision as you would expect of an energy capital. Aberdeen also offers a fine array of cultural attractions. There is an eclectic mix of bars, cafés and restaurants and a host of modern entertainments including cinemas, theatres, museums, galleries and concert halls. And, throughout the year, Aberdeen also plays host to several entertaining and stimulating festivals including the Aberdeen Alternative Festival and the International Youth Festival. Aberdeen International Airport has direct connections with the major ‘hub’ airports of Paris, Amsterdam and Oslo as well as London (Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton) and Dublin. It also has established connections with a wide range of other major UK cities.
