Guidance for the recruitment and appointment of Graduate Teaching Assistants             

A number of schools across the University have Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) scholarships to support their research and educational activities. These are PhD scholarships including mandatory and substantial teaching elements.

The Bristol Doctoral College (BDC) has helped develop and update materials, building on established best practice, to support GTA recruitment and set-up in faculties.

The materials are currently held in SharePoint and continuous access will be granted upon first visit: GTA Recruitment and Appointment Framework
