SCEPTrE’s developmental role is to add value to the University of Surrey’s excellent undergraduate educational model which values and supports the development of professional capability alongside academic capability.

Our pedagogic and curriculum focus is inspired by our core concept of ‘learning for a complex world’. We believe that this enables and empowers us to explore the full range of dispositions and capabilities required of a professional throughout their working life.

Support for innovation is provided through our:

• Fellowship scheme
• Curriculum Innovation Awards
• Teaching with New Technologies Awards

We have also undertaken our own pedagogic development work:

• CoLab
• Cultural Academy
• Enterprise Academy
• Creative Academy
• Experiential Academy

Our educational development enterprises can be grouped under four themes: all are linked to ‘learning for a complex world’:

• Learning to be Professional through a Higher Education
• Life-wide Learning through a Life-wide Curriculum
• Learning through Enquiry
• Developing creativity
