Exeter Academic Probation
New appointments to the University of Exeter are subject to a probationary period of twelve months- except Lecturers (E&R) see below.
E&R Lecturer Probation
The probationary period is an important time for you to develop the skills and competencies you need to be effective and successful. We expect the Exeter Academic to demonstrate that they meet the expectations of a Lecturer within 3 years, which is the standard length of probation for new Lecturers, but it may be possible to confirm your appointment earlier if all the expectations have been achieved.
Academics pursuing a career in Education and Research are expected to achieve professional accreditation by completing the Academic Professional Programme or Aspire.
To enable us to properly assess your contribution at the University of Exeter, the earliest we would assess your suitability for confirmation of appointment would be after one year.
