Teaching and Learning Enhancement Projects awards
11 May 2021
The Centre for Quality Support and Development is delighted to announce the winners of this year’s University TLEP awards scheme. The TLEP scheme offers 'start-up' funding of up to £2,500 to encourage and enable staff involved in teaching or supporting teaching and learning to experiment and develop practice, based on the belief that small projects can be significant catalysts for enhancement and improvement.
The scheme was extremely competitive this year, with a record number of applications received. Fourteen awards have been granted to the following projects:
