Teaching Excellence Awards Winners 2023
31 Jul 2023
The Institute of Teaching and Learning is delighted to announce the winners of this year’s Teaching Excellence Awards on behalf of our University
The winners will be presented with their trophies by Professor April McMahon, Vice-President for Teaching, Learning and Students, at a celebration event in September. They will also be offered personal development opportunities and invited to play a role in teaching and learning development at University level.
The Teaching Excellence Awards recognise a significant and sustained commitment to excellence in one or more strategic themes for teaching, learning and student experience. A synopsis of each winning nomination is available on the ITL website, and we will be sharing more information about Award winners’ practice in the form of blog posts, case studies, workshops and other activities in due course.
We would like to thank all of the nominees and those who took the time to nominate or support them for their valued contributions to teaching and learning at our University, and offer many congratulations to the winners:
