Teaching Excellence

We are pleased to announce the launch of several new initiatives to support teaching excellence across the University.

The Teaching Academy is here to support you in developing your teaching and learning practice. Whether you are looking for a professionally-accredited programme or…

Colleagues across our Faculty regularly demonstrate innovative and inclusive teaching practice, going the extra mile to ensure our students’ learning experience is the very best it can be. Whether you know a colleague who does great work or want to celebrate your own teaching practice, the University has several awards dedicated to recognising excellence in teaching and learning.

“Social” Responsibility doesn’t refer to the impact being only social in nature, it incorporates a wide range of activities contributing to the environmental and economic (as well as social) wellbeing of people, areas, nations, etc.

As well as providing opportunities for students to develop graduate skills in the curriculum it is important that we enable students to articulate the skills they are developing as they move through their programme.
