Our Learning Culture

Our Learning Culture

At the heart of our culture of learning is our commitment to the University’s value of Enhancing Potential. We nurture staff to grow, embrace learning, and progress with confidence in their current role or prepare for future opportunities

“People develop and absorb learning in different ways. Some flourish in formal learning courses, while others excel through peer interactions or hands-on experience. From coaching, mentoring and feedback to e-learning, webinars, stretch projects and secondments. Whatever your preferred learning style, Ulster is here to support your growth and enhance your potential.

Meaningful conversations often serve as the foundation and the driving force of developing people. Effective conversation whether for individuals, managers, or teams is a central focus of our shared ambitions.”

Elaine Fugard

“The People Development team supports a culture of workplace learning, encouraging and enabling development, contribution and growth for all colleagues, to develop and pursue career ambitions in a place of progressive learning.

Investing in our people, we offer a range of blended experiential learning across all levels of practice and experience, from formal learning to job shadowing, e-learning and face-to-face, one-to-one coaching or mentoring, leadership and management capability, team development and bespoke projects for departments.

You can shape your personalised learning and growth though our Learning Management System and programme Learning Hubs supporting your continuous learning, personal and professional development, enabling you to seek out opportunities, complete essential e-Learning and join learning events to suit your career progression.”
