Do you know someone whose teaching deserves an award?
We're delighted to invite staff and students to take part in this year's University Teaching Awards. Nominations can be made for seven awards, which recognise the significant contributions made by University of Bath staff to enhance the academic lives of students and colleagues.
Note some changes have been made to the awards this year;
Academic Advisor of the Year Award (previously Personal Tutor) is student nomination only
Each individual will only be allowed to vote for one nominee per award
We are fully committed to promoting and celebrating success from across our diverse range of colleagues and would therefore particularly like to encourage nominations for early career staff, as well as females and other under-represented groups.
