The Higher Education Academy has announced the 2015 round of National Teaching Fellowships. Details of the criteria and selection process can be found at https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/professional-recognition/awards/national-teaching-fellowship-scheme-ntfs. The University can nominate up to three individuals for these highly competitive awards, and the closing date for complete nominations is 14 January 2015.

If you would like to be considered for nomination by the University, please forward to me a brief (maximum 3 pages) explanation of how you meet the NTFS criteria, and the evidence you can provide in support of your nomination. Note that each criterion carries equal weight in the selection process. Clearly we are working to a very tight schedule, so expressions of interest must be received by 4pm on Tuesday 16 December 2014.
