Recognition, Award & Reward
Higher Education Academy Fellowship demonstrates a personal and institutional commitment to professionalism in learning and teaching in higher education.
National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTF)
National Teaching Fellows are recognised for the outstanding impact they have made on student learning and the teaching profession. On gaining the award and the grant, each NTF supports the enhancement of learning and teaching in both the institution and the sector. This is widely regarded as a difficult and highly sought after achievement to obtain.
