Submissions for the 2023 NTFs have now closed.

The purpose of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) is to recognise, reward, and celebrate individuals who are judged to make an outstanding impact on the student learning experience, and provide the means to develop a proactive community of National Teaching Fellows.

The scheme is organised and run by Advance HE. Institutions can nominate up to three individuals per annum, with a total of up to 55 individual awards being made in 2023.

National Teaching Fellows at the University of Bristol include Professor Dudley Shallcross, Dr James Norman, Professor Lucy Berthoud,  Associate Professor Ros O'Leary, Professor Sheena Warman, Professor Tansy Jessop, Dr Trevor Thompson.

We particularly welcome expressions of interest from groups who have been previously under-represented in the NTFS, including: ethnic minority BAME groups; the wide range of staff that support learning; and part-time, fractional, sessional or hourly paid staff.   

The three successful nominees will be provided with support and mentoring to develop their application. The deadline for submitting finished applications is in March 2023, with results announced August 2023.
