In addition, all faculty contribute to team-taught lecture and seminar courses at BA undergraduate level.

All faculty are entitled to regular sabbaticals from their teaching. In addition, they are encouraged to apply for external grants and fellowships, supported by The Courtauld’s dedicated Research Department.
