Nominations

The Student Led Teaching Awards are completely student-led to ensure authenticity for the recognition that staff members receive. This means that only students can nominate staff members, only students sit on the board that discuss the short-list staff awards, only students can vote for the winners of the staff awards and students assist and lead on organising and presenting the event.

 

We welcome the support from the University, and look forward to working with staff across all levels and departments to champion the Student Led Teaching Awards for years to come.
