Regulations Paid teaching Must have supervisor’s agreement Must attend appropriate training before commencing Normally only for full-time doctoral or MPhil English, equivalent IELTS 6.5 Normally less than 40 hrs/term 120 hrs/year http://www.ncl.ac.uk/fms/postgrad/documentation/faculty http://www.ncl.ac.uk/quilt/resources/pg-policy/ Your supervisory team cannot unreasonably with hold the right for research students to teach if it is available to them Appropriate training default is ITLHE part A but biomedical Sciences and IT have their own training Only where no full time PGR are available would a part time student be considered for a teaching role – too much of their time A general stipulation of IELTS average of 6.5 but schools or leaders of teaching may impose their own limits on what level of English is required The limits on teaching hours are to ensure your research does not suffer as a result and teaching is considered something you do in addition to your usual research activities not in place of it. Limits also mean that more research students should get an opportunity to teach, sometimes it isn’t possible to keep within these limits which is why it says normally. If you do a lot of teaching one year maybe a good idea to let someone else have a go the next.

Broader teaching opportunities Not all teaching is paid – but is valuable e.g. UG/MRes project support Training Teaching & Supervising Project Students ILTHE by agreement with supervisor https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/leadingedge/
