Student Led Teaching Awards
Following the pilot scheme run last year, HEA Scotland, together with the National Union of Students in Scotland, has recently launched the Student Led Teaching Awards project for 2010-11. The project will build on the successes of last year and will draw on the experience of the pilot institutions to support students' associations throughout Scotland in the running of their own award schemes.
