Hamburg Teaching Prize
Motivating, interdisciplinary, innovative—every semester, the University of Hamburg offers numerous excellent courses. Every year, the Hamburg Ministry of Science, Research and Equalities (BWFGB) awards the Hamburg Teaching Prize for outstanding teaching at Hamburg’s publicly funded higher education institutions.
A total of 14 individual prizes, each worth €10,000, are awarded, one award per higher education institution or faculty.
Who can submit nominations?
Only students are entitled to submit nominations for the Hamburg Teaching Prize. Currently, we do not accept nominations. We will provide all details and inform relevant groups via email, as soon as nominations are open again.
Remember to give a reason for your choice, based on the criteria from the Hamburg Teaching Prize award agreement, and include your justification (max. three pages) as an attachment (PDF or DOCX) to your nomination.
Who decides?
Based on the criteria stated in the Hamburg Teaching Prize agreement, a faculty jury (consisting of the vice dean for academic affairs, 2 faculty members delegated by the faculty council, and 2 student representatives) will evaluate the submitted suggestions. This jury then nominates a candidate or a teaching team.
The Executive University Board will formally examine all nominations before forwarding them to the Ministry of Science, Research and Equalities.
