The Teaching Advancement at University (TAU) Fellowship Programme is a prestigious national initiative designed to enhance teaching and learning across South Africa’s higher education sector. Serving as a strategic vehicle under the Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) Framework for Enhancing Academics as University Teachers, TAU brings together outstanding academics to collaborate, innovate, and lead.
Over its six cohorts, TAU fellows from all public South African universities have successfully completed this rigorous programme, returning to their home institutions equipped to act as influential scholars, leaders, change agents, and mentors.
Through a blend of intensive sessions, inter-institutional collaboration, and self-directed local projects, TAU transforms classroom practices into systemic, sector-wide excellence.
