Abstract

The concept of Centres of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETLs) arose from the Government White Paper “The future of Higher Education”, published in January 2003. Within this paper it was recognised that effective teaching and learning was essential to promote excellence and opportunity in Higher Education. CETLs were proposed as a way in which excellent teaching and learning could be rewarded, recognised and best practice could be shared. Successful CETLs were to receive substantial funding to further invest in their practice to further enhance students’ experience of university study.
