The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS)听rewards and celebrates individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession within higher education.

Successful Fellows must be able to demonstrate individual brilliance听in enhancing听student outcomes and/or the teaching profession, as well as raising the profile of excellence by supporting colleagues and engaging beyond the nominee's immediate professional role.

An individual must also show evidence of their commitment to the听ongoing professional development of those around them with regard to teaching and learning support.

Professor John Mitchell has been recognised for his impressive track record as a radical 鈥� yet eminently practical 鈥� innovator in education for over two decades at 皇家华人.听听

His far-sighted work on the听Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP)听is recognised as a trailblazer in Engineering Education. Through his work at 皇家华人, Professor Mitchell has transformed education in this subject so that it has become an exemplar of research-based education and authentic assessment.听听

Professor Mitchell has also been a determined champion for better recognition and clearer career progression for teaching staff, and has contributed greatly to the development of the UCL Education Awards.听

Vice-Provost (Education & Student Experience) Professor Kathy Armour said:听

鈥�鈥淎 much-praised colleague, Professor Mitchell works through partnership by building bridges, welcoming collaboration and consulting widely and authentically. He does not seek the limelight; he simply finds out what needs to be done and sets about it.鈥� 听

Each year, institutions can nominate up to three individuals for an NTF. The award has been running since 2000 and there are now over one thousand National Teaching Fellows, with a maximum of 55 individuals receiving the award each year.听

Professor Tim Young鈥檚 inspiring work at the听UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology听has changed education, particularly for postgraduate students. He听has taken cutting-edge research and linked it directly to medical education, and serves as an impressive example of what can be achieved through collaboration and education at 皇家华人 and further afield.

Professor听Young was influential in the UK's response to COVID-19 by disseminating听important and timely knowledge to over 1,000 frontline medical practitioners, many of whom were still registered students at the time.听

Professor Young鈥檚 sustained dedication to education has recently been recognised both by his recent promotion to Professor (Teaching) and the award of Principal Fellowship of the Higher Education Academic (HEA), and now this NTF award too.

Vice Provost (Education & Student Experience) Professor Kathy Armour said:

鈥�"Professor Tim Young has seized the opportunity and shown time and again that he can make a truly profound difference to students and education, across his entire field.鈥澨�
