GTA responsibilities will vary depending on the unit, but typically involve responsibility for tutoring groups of undergraduate students, leading online discussion groups, assessing students' work, and conducting face-to-face tutorials for some units. 

GTAs are employed on a semester by semester basis. The average weekly working hours will vary from unit to unit, and will also vary over the semester, depending on tasks required. Some UCIL units are conducted entirely online whilst others will require GTAs to lead face to face seminars and tutorials. All UCIL units use innovative teaching, learning and assessment methodologies and training will be provided. 

The number of posts available, and allocation of GTAs to units, will be dependent on student numbers.
