Applications open for University Collaborative Awards for Teaching & Learning

The Centre for Quality Support and Development is pleased to announce that the University Collaborative Awards for Teaching & Learning scheme is open for applications from Monday 18 January 2021.

The awards recognise and reward groups of staff who have made exceptional, significant and ongoing contributions to the student learning experience. The award scheme is open to all staff who are involved in teaching and have been actively supporting teaching and learning initiatives.

Examples of collaborative work might include:

• A group who has worked together to substantially re-develop an existing module in an innovative way
• A group who has identified and designed new ways of working that support student learning
• A group who has developed innovative extra/co-curricular opportunities that enhance student learning and development

Groups are encouraged to adopt a student-centred approach and to provide evidence of active student engagement in the development/evaluation of projects. Students can be included as full members of a project team within an application. You can read about last year's winning teams in our Staff Portal article.

Please visit the scheme page to view the criteria and guidance for applications, and to access the application form. The deadline for applications is 17:00 on Monday 8 March 2021. Please note that late submissions will not be accepted.
