The annual Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Teaching recognise exceptional teaching practice by individuals across the University.

The Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Teaching serve to:

  • recognise and reward teaching excellence;
  • encourage teaching excellence through this recognition;
  • ensure staff development activities; and
  • promote to both the Flinders and outside community that we are proud of our academic staff and that they perform to national and international standards.

These awards are made to teams of staff (headed by an academic) and/or to individual academic staff. 

Each winner (either team or individual) is presented with a Certificate of Excellence in Teaching and receive a prize of $5000 to be used to further enhance teaching excellence within the university.
