The Higher Education Leadership Learning Online Community
Where Leaders Share Resources, Learn From, and Support Each Other
Ever wondered about the difference between management accounts and financial statements? Perhaps you’d like to broaden your understanding of the university funding context? Or maybe you’d like to learn how to make sense of your university’s finances and understand the principles of financial planning?
Demystifying Finance is a practical, interactive one day workshop designed to provide a space to ask the finance questions you daren’t ask!
Essentials of Budgeting will prepare individuals to contribute to and manage budgets effectively. It will enable participants to make informed, confident, budgeting decisions and contribute to the successful running of their institution.
Over the course of six, online modules, participants will develop their understanding of planning, monitoring and reviewing budgets. The modules take between 15 minutes to one hour to complete; with the whole course taking between 4-5 hours to finish.
Successful culture change begins at the top of an organisation, and while the gender balance within these roles is now starting to be addressed, there is still some way to go. In a diverse and competitive world, it is essential to bring the best talent to our boards regardless of characteristics such as race, gender, disability or social background. Women leaders make a significant contribution to the HE sector and we are committed to addressing and improving gender balance at a leadership level, including breaking down the barriers for women to enter the boardroom.
Step onto the board was piloted in June 2018 as part of the Board Diversification Project at Advance HE, commissioned by HEFCE, HEFCW and the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland, to support greater diversity within higher education boards. The workshop was designed based on feedback from Advance HE’s Women onto Boards alumni that suggested further support for those considering a board appointment was wanted in order to develop the right profile and skills.
Step onto the Board responds to this feedback by supporting those who identify as women to develop and present their skills through CV development, resilience building and navigating the culture of boards
The 2019 INFD encompasses the history of the field of educational development in higher education with a focus on our inclusive future.

Each session is geared at building skills in educational development from consulting to event planning and beyond.
