National Teaching Fellowship Scheme

Each year NTU colleagues are invited to submit expressions of interest to be considered as a NTU candidate for the National Teaching Fellowship (NTF) scheme. This scheme celebrates and recognises individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession in higher education. An internal process is undertaken in the Autumn term to identify individuals who will be supported to submit to the national scheme.
