Pilkington Prizes recognise outstanding teaching

Twelve of the University's very best teaching talents have been honoured at the annual Pilkington Prizes awards ceremony. This year, prizes have gone to individuals who have pioneered new methods of learning, those whose work on outreach programmes has been simply outstanding, or those who have shown an incredible capacity to connect with, and inspire students to achieve. All are linked by their commitment to teaching of the highest possible quality. The Pilkington Teaching Prizes were established in 1994 by businessman and alumnus of Trinity College, Sir Alastair Pilkington. The aim was to ensure that excellence in teaching at the University was given proper recognition. Dr Julia Davies is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Plant Sciences and joined the department thirteen years ago. She has shown unwavering dedication to providing exemplary teaching.
