Before you submit your application

2020/21 Applications

As you are aware, due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, the University will need to reconsider some of its essential operations in the coming months, the academic promotions process being one.

It has therefore been agreed that there will be a temporary suspension on all academic promotion applications until further notice to determine how they will be managed in the new academic year.

This means that any applications currently out to external referees will not be considered at the June Academic Staff Committee meeting and any further applications will not be accepted until further notice.

Updates on decisions made with regards to the 2020/21 promotions rounds will be communicated on this web page as well as to your Head of Department/Division.

We thank you for your understanding and patience at this time and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

The deadlines below are for completed applications, supporting documentation and the Head of Department/Division assessment form to be submitted to HR.

You must check with your Head of Department/Division or Department Coordinator for any internal deadlines.
