About Aurora

The Aurora programme run by Advance HE. is for women, up to senior lecturer level or the professional services equivalent, working in a university, college or related organisation who would like to develop and explore issues relating to leadership roles and responsibilities.

Aurora seeks to support women and their institutions to fulfil their leadership potential through thought provoking activities, collaborative problem solving activities and motivating stories supported by inspirational women role models. Participation embeds strong networks of early career women across the sector to share best practice, insights and experiences. 

The University provides annual funding and support for female staff to participate in Aurora, Advance HE’s women’s leadership development programme, since 2013, over 145 women have been supported through the programme.

The Aurora programme typically runs from October to May and we will be inviting applicatons again in Summer 2024 for the 2024/2025 cohort.
