UEA Teaching Awards

Nominations for UEA’s annual Award for Excellence in Teaching, which seeks to recognise outstanding teachers amongst staff across UEA faculties, are now open.

The five awards were introduced to recognise innovative and superlative teaching, for which students and colleagues nominate specific teachers.  Each faculty is designated a specific award relating to its staff and a fifth award is available to a nominee who is teaching students but does not fall into the other categories.

Nominees can be put forward for their work in undergraduate or postgraduate teaching or postgraduate research supervision. It is also possible for joint nominations to be made, for example where a course has joint directors. Each award winner will receive a certificate plus a £1,000 prize.  The award panel includes the Vice Chancellor and the Students’ Union Academic Officer, David Sheppard.

If a teacher has impressed you with their knowledge, enthusiasm or personal support and you would like to nominate them for an award, nomination forms can be collected from the Reception Desks in Union House, the Registry or the Library. 

Nominations must be received no later than 12pm on February 19th 2010. Further details are available from Paul Vazquez (p.vazquez@uea.ac.uk) or Jackie Wright (j.wright@uea.ac.uk) in the Registry’s Learning, Teaching and Quality Office.
