The LDCU encompasses an active community of practice and provides collaborative approaches to sharing practice, support and inspiration.

Professor Letizia Gramaglia‚ Head of Academic Development and Director of the Warwick International Higher Education Academy (WIHEA) at the University of Warwick, said: “This is a tremendous achievement for the University and for the individual colleagues whose excellent work is being recognised though the most prestigious national awards in education. I‘m delighted to welcome Georgia into the NTF community and I am absolutely thrilled to see the LDCU, led by my wonderful colleague Jess Humphreys, receive the first CATE award for Warwick.”

Professor Chris Hughes, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education) at the University of Warwick, said: “This a great haul of awards for our colleagues and demonstrates the excellence of teaching quality at Warwick.
