Distinguished Education Excellence Awards
About the Distinguished Education Excellence Awards
Our Distinguished Education Excellence Awards recognise, reward and celebrate colleagues who demonstrate teaching and learner support excellence and create a proactive learning community within Ulster where excellent practice can influence wider enhancement.
For over two decades now, Ulster University has been recognising the excellence that contributes to our pipeline of assured and confident graduates, and more recently the many ways in which teams and individuals nurture the graduate attributes that will help to set our students up for future success.
The Awards process for 2025 is now open until 16 January at 12 noon.
For further information please contact Awards Lead Richard Beggs: rtg.beggs@ulster.ac.uk or Deputy Awards Lead Dr Vicky Price: v.price@ulster.ac.uk

Quote
"Our Education Excellence Award Recipients demonstrate excellence in our learning and teaching priorities, and they also shape how we may further develop talent for submissions to the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme and Collaborative Awards for Teaching Excellence. None of us operates in a vacuum – we work together to achieve so much of the student experience – both learning and pastoral.We never fail to be impressed and excited by the innovation, commitment and flair described – be that in teaching spaces, in our wrap-around services, in the opportunities we create to nurture the aspirations of our students. The judging process is never easy - but always inspirational."
