Two Prizes for Academic Teaching – Why?
In awarding these prizes, the university and the Hans Mühlenhoff Foundation would like to underline how important good academic teaching is for students trying to complete their studies in a timely fashion and earn high-quality degrees. Since last year, in addition to the prize for good academic teaching, the university has also been awarding the Young Academics Prize for Good Academic Teaching as a way of promoting young researchers in particular. The Hans Mühlenhoff Prize is endowed with 3,000 euros; the Hans Mühlenhoff Young Academics Prize with 1.500 euros.
Osnabrück University students nominate a young academic or a professor who they believe
- integrates their research into courses
- structures their courses well
- uses up-to-date research in their courses
- has an exceptional teaching profile
- can explain complex content
- identifies interdisciplinary contexts
- makes a connection to professional life
- makes practical use of modern media and teaching materials
- provides good advice, feedback and supervision
- offers creative methods of examination

The winner is selected by a jury consisting of students who are experienced tutors which is chaired by the Vice President for Academic Program Development and Teaching Prof. Dr. Martina Blasberg-Kuhnke.
