Congratulations to academic staff in our collaborative partners in Botswana, China and Malaysia who have won the Sheffield Hallam Inspirational Teaching Award 2017.
All universities exist, more than anything else, for their students. The hard work of a university is the consistent effort, day-in, day-out to secure student success through exceptional teaching and student support.
Students were asked through a University survey to nominate academic or student support staff who had inspired them or had a transformative impact on their student experience, inside or outside the curriculum. A total of 1897 nominations were received and 894 individual staff and teams, academics and student support staff were named.
This year has also seen the introduction of a new Inspirational Teaching Award to recognise the valuable contribution of teaching staff at some of our overseas partner institutions, and University staff who teach on overseas partner courses. A total of 349 nominations were received nominating 115 individual staff across six overseas partners (Botswana Accountancy College, INTI and TAR UC in Malaysia, SCOPE and SHAPE in Hong Kong and Sino-British College in China). These were considered by a University panel and nine Inspirational Teaching Awards were made.
