• To encourage and facilitate a reflective approach by academic staff concerning the quality of the teaching and learning support of their colleagues and of themselves.
• To afford students the opportunity to have a major input in the determination of this prestigious award.

The Distinguished Teaching Award is intended to reflect the appreciation by students of the quality of the teaching that they have received, and all students will be given the opportunity to nominate one of their teachers for this award.  The Award will also represent the acknowledgement of academic staff in terms of the positive influence on practice exercised by the nominated colleague.
