The year 2025 has been marked by high-quality teaching at the School of Engineering. At the same time, it has been demanding for the teachers, as we have developed programmes and curricula, implemented language policies, and navigated the complexities introduced by AI. The educational leadership wishes to thank the entire teaching staff for their impressive work and to highlight actions that have significantly advanced our school’s teaching. 

Help us find an exceptional teacher or teacher group and nominate them for the 2025 Award for Achievements in Teaching at the School of Engineering! The award can be suggested for any individual or group who have invested in their teaching, regardless of their career stage - both new and experienced teachers are eligible for nomination.
