Abstract Employing graduate students in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) is increasingly popular across different institutions in the United Kingdom. GTAs support students’ learning as well as assisting academics in preparing sessions and, at times, with research. The GTA scheme is seen as a developmental role for graduate students who wish to pursue a career in the education sector; it is the first step on the ladder to becoming an academic. This paper provides an insight into the GTA role, outlines the challenges GTAs face and the rewards they receive while engaging with students, academics and research in a UK-based university.
