Univie Teaching Award Psychology 2024

The deadline for submitting nominations has already passed. We would like to thank everyone who took part.

This year‘s Univie Teaching Award is not awarded at the university-level, but at the faculty-level. As the Faculty of Psychology, we are therefore delighted to announce the Psychology Teaching Award for the first time in 2024. With this award, we aim to make commitment to teaching visible and recognize outstanding teaching.

A total of two teaching awards will be awarded to individual lecturers or teams of lecturers (in the case of team teaching). The Univie Teaching Awards Psychology 2024 focus on the successful combination of theory and practice or science and application in psychology on the one hand and the promotion of practice-relevant skills and exchange between students on the other.

Students, student representatives, student assistants and teaching staff are invited to nominate courses that they consider to be outstanding. Self-nominations (until 07.04.2024) and nominations of others (until 08.03.2024) are welcome.
