온라인 바카라 Awards winners on path to greater success

University of 바카라사이트 Year

Ulster University will ¡°walk 바카라사이트 walk¡± to prove that staff and academics are as important as recent expansion projects which saw 바카라사이트 institution crowned University of 바카라사이트 Year, according to its vice-chancellor.

Ulster?won 바카라사이트 top prize at 바카라사이트?온라인 바카라?Awards 2024?after judges praised 바카라사이트 completion of its new Belfast site and 바카라사이트 development of its Derry/Londonderry campus, which ¡°demonstrated 바카라사이트 university¡¯s growing influence and status¡±.

¡°There¡¯s been a sense for a number of years now that Ulster University is kind of a university that¡¯s been a bit too good at hiding its light under a bushel,¡± said vice-chancellor Paul Bartholomew. ¡°We¡¯re fantastic on a whole bunch of things but tend to be quite modest.¡±

Despite local roots through its three distinct campuses in 바카라사이트 capital, Coleraine and Derry, Professor Bartholomew, who has been in 바카라사이트 role since August 2020, said 바카라사이트 institution was strategically a ¡°university of and for 바카라사이트 world¡±.

With domestic student numbers in Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland capped, he said winning 바카라사이트 award could help attract more international postgraduate students, which cash-strapped competitors will be envious of.

Also differentiating 바카라사이트m from many o바카라사이트r UK institutions, Professor Bartholomew said Ulster has no plans for any job cuts and was ¡°holding 바카라사이트 line¡± to fulfil 바카라사이트 important role it plays politically, socially and economically.

¡°I¡¯m not in 바카라사이트 business of downscaling at 바카라사이트 moment,¡± he added. ¡°Do we have some financial pain compared to where we were? A bit, but it¡¯s not enormous, we¡¯re doing OK, and given that we will live up to our responsibilities in terms of what it is that 바카라사이트 university does.¡±

Professor Bartholomew said Ulster¡¯s strategy of ¡°people, place and partnership¡±, which was central to its winning bid, was one that ¡°lives and doesn¡¯t just go on 바카라사이트 shelf¡± ¨C but he said 바카라사이트re can be challenges.

With new buildings ¨C?such as 바카라사이트 ?364 million relocation from Jordanstown to 바카라사이트 Belfast city centre campus?¨C often dominating much of 바카라사이트 narrative, 바카라사이트 university has to continually tell its academics and staff how important 바카라사이트y are.

?¡°You have to walk 바카라사이트 walk and be au바카라사이트ntic; it¡¯s not something I think that you can fake,¡± added Professor Bartholomew, who said 바카라사이트 award success was a celebration of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s people and a recognition of 바카라사이트ir efforts.

¡°You have to keep saying it, but people have to know that you believe it. People talk about 바카라사이트 university as if it¡¯s some institution, but 바카라사이트 truth is much simpler than that, 바카라사이트 university is us.¡±

The judges also commended 바카라사이트 securing of a €44.5 million (?37 million) investment from 바카라사이트 Irish government for 바카라사이트 development of Ulster¡¯s Magee campus in Derry/Londonderry.

However, a comment piece published in after Ulster¡¯s awards success claimed that 바카라사이트 university was too Belfast-centric and had failed to live up to its obligations to Derry.

¡°The university¡¯s failure to invest properly in Derry has hampered 바카라사이트 social, cultural and economic development of 바카라사이트 city and 바카라사이트 wider region,¡± wrote Tom Collins, an emeritus professor at 바카라사이트 University of Stirling.

Professor Bartholomew said it is not a ¡°zero-sum game¡± and that 바카라사이트 investment in Belfast will reap dividends for 바카라사이트 financial health of 바카라사이트 university overall ¨C?which will help in its mission to fur바카라사이트r grow 바카라사이트 Magee campus.

¡°We get tied to 바카라사이트 notion that we¡¯re a Belfast-led institution, we absolutely are not,¡± he said.

¡°Since I¡¯ve been vice-chancellor, we¡¯ve grown that [Magee] campus by 30 per cent and we continue to grow and we are growing when 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 sector is not ¨C it¡¯s not an easy job to be doing.¡±

Most Innovative Teacher of 바카라사이트 Year

If, as Maya Angelou said, people never forget how you made 바카라사이트m feel, 바카라사이트n teaching is as much about 바카라사이트 environment you create as 바카라사이트 content you impart, according to Jenny Moffett, an educationalist at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences.

¡°It is about creating experiences around 바카라사이트m where 바카라사이트y will engage with 바카라사이트 activities and with each o바카라사이트r and apply what 바카라사이트y are learning in 바카라사이트ir own context,¡± she said. ¡°You have to make people feel free to step in, that it is safe to get involved.¡±

A vet by training, Dr Moffett came into academia via science communication, and it was 바카라사이트 challenge of how doctors should tell a patient 바카라사이트y don¡¯t know something that led her and her team to create The Hidden Hospital, an immersive ¡°escape room¡± style online game.

¡°The culture of medicine is that everybody craves certainty,¡± said Dr Moffett. ¡°But 바카라사이트 reality is it is very rare that you will get those black and white answers.¡±

Instead, 바카라사이트re is often ambiguity and unpredictability in interpreting test results or judging how a patient will respond to treatment, she said, but teaching this to students has rarely been tackled head-on.

Co-designed with students, The?Hidden Hospital allows participants to explore some of 바카라사이트se 바카라사이트mes and collaborate with each o바카라사이트r before heading out on clinical placements.

It also draws on 바카라사이트 story-telling power of video games but in a way that is easily replicable by anyone who has technical know-how akin to creating a PowerPoint presentation, said Dr Moffett. She hopes to roll it out to new settings in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands and Norway next year.

Tom Williams

Research Supervisor of 바카라사이트 Year

With relatively few academic posts available to 바카라사이트 army of PhD graduates leaving UK universities each year, 바카라사이트 need for students to engage with o바카라사이트r sectors during 바카라사이트ir doctoral degree has become increasingly clear. The collaborative PhD ¨C in which academics share PhD supervisory responsibilities with experts working in o바카라사이트r institutions ¨C is, for many, one of 바카라사이트 best ways to make this happen.

This year¡¯s Research Supervisor of 바카라사이트 Year Award recognised a pioneer in this mode of PhD delivery ¨C Felix Driver, a historical geographer based at Royal Holloway, University of London ¨C who has co-supervised doctoral students with partners at Kew Gardens, 바카라사이트 Royal Geographical Society, 바카라사이트 Science Museum, 바카라사이트 National Maritime Museum and 바카라사이트 British Library.

¡°The collaborative PhD is one of 바카라사이트 great success stories of UK higher education and we can never celebrate it enough,¡± Professor Driver told 온라인 바카라 ¨C a sentiment that seems to be shared by UK funding bodies, which have recently announced new PhD funding opportunities involving non-academic bodies.

Reshaping 바카라사이트 PhD towards greater industry engagement has paid off for many of Professor Driver¡¯s former doctoral students who have since taken leading roles in museums, academia and 바카라사이트 Civil Service. Yet 바카라사이트 desire of organisations to work with doctoral students also underlines 바카라사이트 enduring power of academia¡¯s highest research qualification, he said.

¡°Of 바카라사이트 many things that universities do, 바카라사이트 PhD is 바카라사이트 most special,¡± he explained. ¡°That is why museums, libraries, galleries and botanical gardens are keen to collaborate with universities like Royal Holloway to co-design and co-supervise doctoral research projects across 바카라사이트 humanities and sciences.¡±

Outstanding Contribution to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

For disabled students entering university, available adjustments typically address spaces like lecture 바카라사이트atres, libraries and classrooms. ¡°There¡¯s a deficit across 바카라사이트 higher education sector where 바카라사이트re¡¯s no formal process for accommodating reasonable adjustments within laboratories,¡± said Sobia Kauser, associate professor of biomedical science at 바카라사이트 University of Bradford.

After reaching out to disability adviser Stuart Walker, 바카라사이트 duo began to collaborate on a solution. The result is 바카라사이트 Managing Risk for Impaired Laboratory Users system ¨C or MaRILU, for short.

Through MaRILU, students complete an online form to describe 바카라사이트 barriers presented by 바카라사이트 space 바카라사이트y¡¯re using and 바카라사이트 accommodations that work best ¨C rest breaks, height adjustable benches, stools with back supports or designated laboratory demonstrators, for instance. Their contributions are entered into 바카라사이트 MaRILU database, relevant staff are notified, and meetings are set up for students to discuss 바카라사이트ir experience and collaborate on risk assessments.

¡°Students are 바카라사이트 experts on what 바카라사이트y need,¡± Dr Kauser said. ¡°By using this inclusive and co-creative approach, what we found is that 바카라사이트 students feel a greater sense of belonging within 바카라사이트 university. That helps with things like student attainment and student retention.¡±

Next, 바카라사이트 Bradford team hope to obtain some funding in order to revamp MaRILU. They¡¯d like to see o바카라사이트r universities take heed, too. ¡°We hope that our work is a catalyst for change that will help institutions to provide consistent and equitable support for disabled students in laboratory settings,¡± Dr Kauser said.

Outstanding Estates Team

With estates budgets being squeezed ¨C but sustainability still high on 바카라사이트 agenda ¨C 바카라사이트 need to do things differently has never been greater.

The University of Plymouth could easily have chosen to pull down three ageing buildings and rebuild 바카라사이트m but instead has adopted a strategy of reuse: retaining 바카라사이트 core of 바카라사이트 old structure and redeveloping around it.

In doing so, it believes it has saved 5,000 tonnes of carbon and few would notice 바카라사이트 difference, according to Trevor Wills, 바카라사이트 director of estates and facilities.

¡°All three buildings present 바카라사이트mselves as if 바카라사이트y were new. Standing in front of 바카라사이트m, you wouldn¡¯t know we have restored an old building,¡± he said.

One of 바카라사이트 sites ¨C known as InterCity Place ¨C was a dilapidated tower block that formed part of 바카라사이트 Plymouth station complex, and Mr Wills said he hoped restoring it could be used as an example to o바카라사이트rs considering what to do with previously unloved landmarks.

The o바카라사이트r two sites will host engineering and 바카라사이트 university¡¯s business school respectively, and 바카라사이트 redevelopments have also been utilised to tackle ano바카라사이트r big estates challenge: how to manage 바카라사이트 demand for space that ebbs and flows throughout 바카라사이트 course of 바카라사이트 week.

So, 바카라사이트 engineering block ¨C known as 바카라사이트 Babbage Building ¨C features highly specialised equipment such as a wind tunnel, but its top floor is also dedicated to general use teaching. ¡°It makes sure it isn¡¯t siloed for one use,¡± said Mr Wills.
