What are the LATE Awards?
These awards are being run by NUSU in partnership with Newcastle University to recognise all positive aspects of learning and teaching during your time with us. The awards are fully student-led from nomination to selection, that means that YOU have the chance to show off your best members of staff to the whole university.
 
A number of lucky students that have nominated will also be invited to attend a prestigious awards ceremony in May!
