About the role
This interview combines computer science knowledge with university teaching and research. The panel wants clear explanations, practical and fair learning design, sound responses to academic integrity concerns and a credible direction for research and student supervision.
How to prepare
- Prepare a short explanation of one difficult computing concept for an undergraduate audience.
- Review how you would run programming practicals when student access to devices is uneven.
- Choose examples of assessments that test individual understanding rather than copied output.
- Clarify your research interests and the realistic student projects they could support.
- Check the official university or regulator sources for any current appointment or programme requirements relevant to the post.
Common mistakes
- Giving a technical explanation without checking what students understand.
- Relying only on lectures for a practical computing subject.
- Treating suspected misconduct as proven before following a fair process.
- Proposing student research that cannot be completed with available data or tools.
