Career Achievement Awards (previously Lifetime Achievement Award) (unfunded)

These awards will be made to individuals of the Collegiate University and/or NHS who have demonstrated high quality and sustained commitment to education (whether through undergraduate teaching, for graduate supervision and/or other educational means) throughout their career in the service of Oxford (normally a minimum of 15 years or equivalent).

  • Demonstrated high quality and sustained commitment to education (whether through undergraduate teaching, for graduate supervision and/or other educational means) throughout their career in the service of Oxford (normally a minimum of 15 years or equivalent). This contribution might be evidenced through student feedback and student results/outcomes, as well as comments from colleagues
  • The individual is likely to have led educational developments/initiatives during their career at Oxford, which have had a substantial impact on students’ education
  • The individual may have supported colleagues in improving their teaching/ in adopting new ways of teaching
