“Doing the Fellowship helped towards affirming my identity as an educational developer and helped me to see that I was becoming credible in this role“.
Fellowship of SEDA (FSEDA) is suitable for individuals who lead and contribute to change initiatives in academic development.
Academic development-based roles are held by individuals who work in several contexts, locally and internationally:
SEDA runs an annual cohort-based approach to FSEDA. In 2023 this will run from March to September. Throughout the six-month programme, FSEDA Candidates are supported in developing a portfolio of work which demonstrates alignment with the SEDA Values, Core Development Outcomes (CDOs) and Specialist Outcomes (SOs).
Candidates will engage with their cohort synchronously through participation in webinars and writing workshops and asynchronously through discussion boards. The programme is designed so that participants can benefit from each other’s reflections, feedback and support as their FSEDA applications progress.
Mentors will be assigned to each candidate, providing feedback and guidance throughout the programme.
The Fellowship Scheme Lead will provide a reflective space where candidates can appropriately respond to the SEDA Values, CDOs and SOs while appreciating the context within which they work.
The 2022 cohort is already underway. Details of the 2023 cohort will be published later in the year.

Note on withdrawals/deferrals: If withdrawing within two weeks of the cohort start date a refund less a 15% administrative charge will be made, after that the option to defer to the next instantiation of the cohort is offered and no refund can be given if this option is not taken up. In the case of exceptional circumstances the SEDA office will consider these on a case by case basis but a minimum of 15% administrative charge will apply to any refund.
SEDA is committed to continuing professional development. Individuals holding a Fellowship are required to engage in a regular CPD process in order to remain ‘in good standing’. For further details click here.
There is a register of all categories of Fellowship holders on the SEDA website.
