National Teaching Awards
National Teaching Awards are part of our overall programme to raise the status of learning and teaching in higher education, and to recognise and reward teaching excellence.
We currently run two different award programmes:
- National Teaching Fellowship Awards
- Student led awards
National Teaching Fellowship Awards
The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme is open to all higher education institutions in England, Northern Ireland and, since Autumn 2010, Wales.
Each year up to 55 individual awards of £10,000 are made to recognise individual excellence.
Student-led awards
The Student-Led Teaching Awards (SLTAs) involve students nominating their tutors and lecturers over a range of categories such as ‘outstanding teacher', ‘innovative teacher' and ‘teaching in an international context'.
Initially run in partnership with the National Students Union in Scotland, this highly successful HEA/NUS collaboration has now been rolled out across rest of the UK.
