Teaching Excellence
Academy
Our Teaching Excellence Academy celebrates, develops and promotes excellent teaching across our University. We're proud to say that over two-thirds of our teaching staff have gained credentials through Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy. That’s 20% above the average for the sector.

Celebrate
We celebrate excellent teaching through local, national and international reward and recognition and are absolutely committed to the student experience. We’ll celebrate those who give students every opportunity to reach their potential.
Develop
We develop excellent teaching through a framework of academic and professional development activities and carefully curated resources. Our suite of activities are grounded in scholarship and everything is tailored to developing our students, our staff and our University.
Promote
We promote excellent teaching by sharing the great practice we see here at the University of Hull. We work to inspire and excite staff by sharing pedagogic practices that will stretch students academically and give them the skills to achieve by being critical, creative and enterprising.
