Professor John Mitchell awarded prestigious National Teaching Fellowship

The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) recognises, rewards and celebrates colleagues who have made outstanding impacts on education and student outcomes in higher education.  

We are delighted that two senior educators from UCL have received awards this year, including Professor John Mitchell (UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering). Professor Tim Young (Faculty of Brain Sciences) was also recognised. 

Professor John Mitchell has been recognised for his impressive track record as a radical – yet eminently practical – innovator in education for over two decades at UCL.  

Prof Mitchell’s far-sighted work on the Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) is recognised as a trailblazer in Engineering Education. Through his work at UCL, Prof Mitchell has transformed education in this subject so that it has become an exemplar of research-based education and authentic assessment.  

Prof Mitchell has also been a determined champion for better recognition and clearer career progression for teaching staff, and he has contributed much to the development of the UCL Education Awards. 

Vice-Provost (Education & Student Experience) Professor Kathy Armour says: 

“A much-praised colleague, Prof Mitchell works through partnership by building bridges, welcoming collaboration and consulting widely and authentically. He does not seek the limelight; he simply finds out what needs to be done and sets about it.”
