The Institute of Teaching and Learning (ITL) is an academic centre created to support teaching quality, embed innovative teaching methods and lead on university-wide strategic projects. Each year, Student Partner Interns are paired with a Staff Fellow to contribute to their research project, from helping with ethics applications, to literature reviews, and conducting surveys. 

Student Partners began working with ITL in 2020 and the scheme has gone from strength to strength. Student Partners have collaborated with staff across faculties and professional services, with project themes such as increasing diversity and representation in digital learning materials and widening participation for neurodivergent students.
