The Lord Dearing Awards recognise and celebrate the world-class contribution to teaching and learning and the student experience made by university staff across campuses, job families, roles, and disciplines.

You can nominate an individual staff member or team who has had a positive impact on your time at the university for an award. 

Submit a nomination

The scheme was personally supported by Lord Ronald Dearing, the fifth Chancellor of the University of Nottingham, and hundreds of individual members of staff and teams across the job families and campuses have received an award since 1999.

Find out more about the Lord Dearing Awards including the nomination process and the subsequent application process undertaken by nominees who choose to accept a given nomination.

Nominations close Friday 18 November 2022 and awards will be conferred in the summer 2023.
