Throughout the course of the year, students are given the opportunity to nominate teachers who have been particularly helpful or inspiring to them during their studies. They are also able to nominate administrators whom they have found to be particularly helpful and supportive.
At the end of the academic year, the QAEU counts the number of nominations for each teacher/administrator and the ones with the most nominations receive a certificate and a letter of recognition.
