Gateway workshops are designed to prepare postgraduate students with no prior experience for their teaching responsibilities by introducing approaches to teaching and learning.
If you know you will be teaching in the coming term and have not completed any prior training or development sessions (with UCL Arena Centre, the Graduate School, or in your department or Faculty), then you need to register for a 2.5 hour Gateway workshop.
This introductory workshop helps prepare you for teaching responsibilities and explores innovative approaches to teaching and learning. You'll have a chance to connect with fellow PGTAs who are a valued and integral part of our community. Attendance is mandatory for all PGTAs involved in teaching and assessment at UCL. Your department will also provide formal guidance and mentoring support.
