Nominate your candidate for the 2026 Teaching Awards

Every year, as a student, you can nominate one or more teachers/instructors for Malmö University’s Teaching Award. The award is presented to teachers/instructors and staff who, in an engaging way, support students’ learning, foster international perspectives and prepare students for their future careers.

You can nominate an individual teacher/instructor, a teaching team or other staff members involved in educational activities.

Winners of the Teaching Award 2025

Benjamin Maus

"More than anything, it is a fantastic motivation to keep improving my teaching. I really enjoy being in the classroom and want to continue contributing my small part in inspiring and supporting others on their journeys. Personally, it is also lovely to see how my doctoral work has helped me – rather than limited me – in my teaching.

Annette Mars

"I want to explain this from various angles – both theoretical and practical – and show how the two can complement each other. High standards are not at odds with a sense of security; quite the opposite. When I know where a student is at, I can set the right expectations and help them progress."
