Exeter Guild Teaching Awards

The Teaching Awards is about recognising, celebrating and promoting excellent teaching. The Teaching Awards is about giving students a chance to acknowledge the best lecturers at the University, and is a way of saying ‘thank you’ to those staff who go above and beyond what is expected of them.

The University and Students’ Guild are joint-organising the teaching awards culminating in an Awards Ceremony on Wednesday 5th May. There will be a two week campaign running from the 1st-12th of March. During this time you can nominate your favourite lecturer for any of the awards listed.

After this the nominees will be shortlisted, it will then be up to the Student Staff Liaison Committees (SSLC) to short list the nominees. It will then go to a judging panel who will then decide who is the overall winner.
