No politics school in the UK has won more PSA awards than The University of Nottingham's School of Politics and International Relations.
“This is fantastic news,” says Professor Philip Cowley, from the school,”but not surprising. Both Sue and Gulshan are popular and committed lecturers who give our students an enormous amount of value and enthuse them for the subject.
“We have a strong research reputation at Nottingham, but alongside that an excellent reputation for quality teaching. This award is richly deserved and is a reflection on the student experience in our school.”
Dr Pryce's expertise lies in British and US politics and Dr Khan focuses on political theory.
The PSA is a national body set up to promote the study of politics. It was founded in 1950 and is the leading association of its type in the country. Its membership consists of the most influential academics in political science and current affairs, theorists and practitioners, policy makers, researchers and students in higher education.
