Stage 2: Schools select two nominations
Heads of School are requested to select two nominations for Pilkington Prizes from the pool of nominations provided by constituent Faculties / Departments, on the basis of evidence of outstanding contribution to the teaching programme of a Faculty / Department.
These two nominations should be accompanied by:
