What is Academic Progression?

There are two main pathways at Queen’s: Research and Education, and Education, both of which are of equal value.

The Academic Progression process is the means by which academic career progression is achieved at Queen's and is clearly linked to Personal Development Review (PDR) , by building on the career and development conversations between Reviewer and Reviewee, and ensuring the appropriate feedback and support is provided to enable employees to take ownership of their own development and progression.

The Academic Profiles set out the key areas of academic activity (Research/Scholarship, Teaching and Learning and Citizenship), and the criteria which defines the standards expected at each level of the relevant academic career pathway. Performance against the criteria in the Profiles will be evaluated holistically, with overall contributions across and within the three domains being taken into account. In order to progress staff are expected to meet the Profile for their current grade and demonstrate readiness to progress to the next grade.
