Each year we support staff to apply for national recognition through the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme, which recognises and celebrates individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession.
Queen Mary University of London is eligible to nominate up to three members of staff that teach and/or support learning in higher education each year. The process is highly competitive with approximately 55 National Teaching Fellows appointed across the UK each year. Nominations are reviewed by members of the wider higher education community, with the review and awards process coordinated by Advance HE.
The deadline for applications to Advance HE is normally early March each year and there are strict criteria for submission. If you are interested in applying for a National Teaching Fellowship, you should first review the Advance HE website, including the videos providing insight into the award criteria.
