This award recognises staff who have used innovative teaching techniques, assessment tasks or learning materials to support learning and engagement or helped students to enhance their digital skills.

• Nominate for the Oustanding Digital Enhanced Teaching Award

Your lecturers, programme support team and others may have played a key role in improving your employability skills and knowledge within your programme, and your teaching and learning experience.

Has your lecturer effectively incorporated employability – be it in the forms of skills, knowledge, or guidance – into your programme or course unit?

Do you feel better geared up for the world of employment through the support received from your lecturer? If so, nominate your chosen person for the Teaching and Employability award.

• Nominate for the Outstanding Teaching and Employability Award

Is there a member of staff who helps to run your programme or works in student support and has positively contributed to your experience as a student?

The Professional Services award celebrates the non-academic staff who provide help and support with a positive attitude and who have demonstrated exceptional care or assistance towards students.

They may have helped you or fellow students through a difficult academic or pastoral situation or gone ‘the extra mile’ to ensure an issue with your course has been effectively resolved.

• Nominate for the Outstanding Professional Services Staff Award

Your programme (sometimes referred to as your course) is the reason you came to The University of Manchester.

Has your programme exceeded your expectations? Are the team that teach and organise your programme inspiring, motivating and innovative?

Have they fostered your love for your subject and encouraged you to aim high, to challenge and believe in yourself? Have you been well supported by the people who look after your programme (academic, techincal and professional services colleagues)?

If you think that the people who organise and teach your programme ahve made it one worth talking about, then nominate it as one of the Faculty’s programmes of the year.
