In order to advance commitment to teaching and student learning, the University of Oldenburg has established the Award for excellence in teaching. Only students can submit nominations. The jury selecting the award winners consists of both faculty members and students.

In addition, we would like to honour courses that have received outstanding evaluations with the Award for the best course evaluation. One prize will be awarded for each school. You can apply with the central course evaluations from Winter Semester 2025/26 and Summer Semester 2026.

The award honours lecturers for their outstanding and innovative course designs and is presented by the Vice President for Studying and Teaching.

Applications are no longer being accepted

This year’s awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, 12 November 2026 in the library hall. 

The prizes come with prize money that can winners can put towards their teaching. Each award comes with prize money sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Teaching and Learning and University Societey Oldenburg.

For the first time, we are providing simultaneous interpretation into English for our international guests at the awards ceremony!
