Question

How do I become a university lecturer in the UK? What are the academic ranks?

Community Answer

After completing an undergraduate and postgraduate degree, you’ll complete a PhD, which gives you a doctorate. Once you have a doctorate you can apply for lecturing jobs at universities. The ranks of lecturers are: GTA (graduate teaching assistant - someone doing a PhD), lecturer, senior lecturer, reader (of a subject), and professor.
