Recognitions

The lecturer of the year

The lecturer of the year competition seeks to identify the best lecturers in each school at TalTech. The winners are named from among the candidates who, based on the feedback received from the student, were in the top 20% of the school's highest-rated lecturers in the previous academic year. In addition to the university-wide recognition, the School of Business and Governance has a tradition of selecting its teaching staff members of the year.
