The EEUK Fellowship scheme has been established to recognise, value, and professionalise the wide range of roles that contribute to enterprise and entrepreneurship education across higher education, further education, and the wider enterprise ecosystem. It reflects EEUK’s long-standing commitment to enabling excellence in acknowledged, inclusive, and impactful enterprise education practice.
The Fellowship is deliberately designed to be inclusive of diverse career pathways, recognising that enterprise education is delivered through academic, professional, practitioner, and leadership roles, often in hybrid and evolving ways.
After 8 years of successful delivery the EEUK Fellowship Scheme has recently undergone a significant review. Full details of the revised fellowship scheme will be revealed during our launch webinar on the 9th June.
EEUK Fellowship was established in 2018 to recognise, value, and professionalise the wide range of roles that contribute to enterprise and entrepreneurship education across higher education, further education, and the wider enterprise ecosystem. The Fellowship programme reflects EEUK’s long-standing commitment to enabling excellence in acknowledged, inclusive, and impactful enterprise education practice.
The enhanced Fellowship programme, launched in 2026, introduced two important dimensions,
The EEUK Fellowship recognises individuals who demonstrate a commitment and contribution to enterprise and entrepreneurship education. Fellowship is awarded through a robust professional recognition process that enables applicants to evidence their practice, reflect on their development, and demonstrate their contribution to learners, institutions, organisations, and the wider enterprise ecosystem.
Applications are built around a reflective, evidence-informed narrative that explores professional practice, impact, leadership and influence, reflection and development underpinned by values and ethics. Applicants are also required to contribute to the ETC Toolkit and provide supporting evidence that demonstrates the quality and impact of their work.
Successful applicants are awarded the appropriate level of EEUK Fellowship and may use the associated post-nominals, joining a growing community of recognised enterprise and entrepreneurship educators, practitioners, leaders, and influencers committed to advancing excellence across the sector.
Applicants apply through one primary Professional Pathway, reflecting where the majority of their contribution sits. Evidence may legitimately span more than one pathway.
Academic Pathway – Teaching, curriculum design, scholarship, research, and
pedagogic leadership.
Practitioner Pathway – Learner-facing enterprise delivery, business support, ecosystem engagement, and knowledge exchange.
Influencer Pathway – Strategic leadership, institutional change, policy influence, and sector-wide impact.
| Level | Descriptor |
|---|---|
| Associate Fellow (AFEEUK) | Developing practice with emerging impact |
| Fellow (FEEUK) | Sustained, effective practice with demonstrable impact |
| Senior Fellow (SFEEUK) | Strategic leadership and influence beyond immediate role |
| Principal Fellow (PFEEUK) | Sector-leading influence at national or international level |
Applicants should apply for the highest level that accurately reflects their current contribution. There is no requirement to hold a previous Fellowship level before applying for a higher one. Applicants may enter at any level where their evidence meets the standard and may apply through any pathway at any level. Movement between pathways is permitted at any stage, recognising that roles, responsibilities, and forms of contribution evolve over time.
EEUK Fellowship is underpinned by:
• National Occupational Standards for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Educators
• National Occupational Standards for Business and Enterprise Support
• QAA Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Education Guidance
• UK Professional Standards Framework (PSF)
