StellarHE National 2015 – Enrolment Form
StellarHE National is a strategic executive development programme for Diverse Leaders (Black, Asian and
Minority Ethnic – BAME) in Higher Education. Now in its fifth year this programme has been designed
specifically to develop and implement leadership strategies that reflect the unique challenges and
experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic academic and professional staff across the HE sector.
This development programme is recognised by the Institute of Leadership and Management and is
supported by HEFCE. University College London and Liverpool John Moores University are the lead
Institutions.
StellarHE is aimed at those BAME individuals who aspire to a strategic role. It is suitable for professional
support staff, academics and researchers at a middle to senior management level. Readiness to embark on
an experiential leadership programme and availability to participate in all activities are key criteria for
participation on the programme.

Enrolment Guidelines
In the case of a group submission enrolment forms can be submitted by the relevant HEI decision-maker.
Otherwise, individual participants are requested to submit their completed and signed forms to
gail@diversitypractice.com. The closing date for submission is Thursday 29th October 2015. The Diversity
Practice will confirm enrolment based on the information submitted in the enrolment forms.
Both participants and their managers are asked to sign an enrolment form. The purpose of the enrolment
form is to ensure that participants are clear about the criteria and professional readiness necessary for
taking up the programme. Their managers are asked to sign off in support of their staff member’s
participation. This is in anticipation that managers fully understand their involvement, for example,
supporting participants in identifying their Leadership Challenge and sharing their learning in the workplace
on completion of the formal modules of the training.
If the budget holder is different to the line manager then their signature approving the decision is also
required.
The final fee for the programme is £2,950.00 excl. VAT. This covers all the workshops and materials plus
residential accommodation costs. An invoice will be sent on receipt of enrolment form.
Each HEI is requested to make the decision on who to put forward based on the enrolment criteria. The
deadline for the names of approved participants and their enrolment forms to reach the Diversity Practice is
THURSDAY 12TH NOVEMBER 2015 and should be emailed to gail@diversitypractice.com
