What to include in a profile

Please structure your content under headings. Below is the standard template with some 'dummy' content for a fictitious lecturer, 'Dr Joe Bloggs'. Also check with your Head of School/Department about any content specific to your area. Please write the summary about yourself (at top) in the 'first person' and aim it at our main audience of prospective students.

For personal safety we recommend that you don't include your office location in the contact details.

Selfie

Photo is optional, but recommended of course.

NOTE: Please avoid 'selfies'. This example of a typical 'selfie' speaks for itself.

Choose a neutral background and remove distracting objects behind you.

Don't crop or resize the image. Send original file.

Good profile photo

Example of a good photo

Your photo should give a friendly but professional impression.

This is a photo suitable for a staff profile; no clutter in background, good lighting, no shadows and reflections.

The person has a friendly but neutral expression.

Example profile - Dr Joe Bloggs

Senior Lecturer in Nutritional Science

I passionately believe that the realities of our contemporary world and its challenges and problems make marine and food science two of the most important areas within all of the sciences.

The course units that I design and teach and my research are deeply intertwined. I have a keen interest in the mapping of mid-atlantic cod stocks and I have done groundbreaking research and published widely in this area.

I enjoy adopting a creative and innovative approach to teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level. My course units include seminars with invited experts from the food industry and study visits to organisations such as the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Food Standards Agency.
