Teaching Recognition
Teaching Recognition within the Queen Mary Academy aims to recognise and continue to promote excellence in teaching and learning. This is achieved through our target of engaging all staff in the process of seeking Associate Fellowship, Fellowship, Senior Fellowship or Principal Fellowship of the HEA. We also assist staff as they pursue National Teaching Fellowship (NTF) of the HEA, and the Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE).

Please send your finished APP and two reference letters, together with your completed cover sheet, to qma.trp@qmul.ac.uk. Please do not hesitate to contact the Teaching Recognition team if you require any further information.
By applying to become a Fellow (of any category) you will have the opportunity to:
- Think deeply about and thereby enhance the quality and effectiveness of your work in the area of teaching and supporting learning in higher education;
- Gain national and increasingly international recognition for your role as a teacher and/or supporter of learning within the higher education context.
The appropriate accreditation for most university staff is Fellowship of the HEA following the guidelines for Descriptor 2 (D2), although staff may wish to apply for other descriptors (D1, D3, or D4). To receive support in writing your application, or to discuss any related issues, please contact the Teaching Recognition team.
