WIHEA Fellows Funding

WIHEA Strategic Themes & Funding

Alongside WIHEA's overarching commitment to Internationalisation, Interdisciplinarity and Student Research, WIHEA's funding schemes enable Fellows to build collaborative partnerships between staff and students across the University to support the Education and Student Experience Strategy by addressing one or more of the following strategic areas:

  • Leading Educational Excellence
  • Empowering Students and Graduates
  • Inclusive Student Experience
  • Communities and Connection

Information on the funds currently available through WIHEA are below:
