NTU lecturer shortlisted for Innovative Teacher award
A forensic science lecturer from Chamber patron Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has been shortlisted for a national teaching award. Andy O’Hagan, who teaches in
the School of Science and Technology, has been shortlisted in The Times Higher Education (THE) Awards 2019 in the Most Innovative Teacher of the Year category. The award recognises staff
whose imagination and passion have transformed a course and inspired students. Andy, who has been working at
NTU since 2010, uses inventive and hands-on teaching methods to bring his lectures to life and inspire students. He currently teaches on NTU’s BSc (Hons) Forensic Science course and was also heavily involved in the creation of the university’s policing degree. Before coming to NTU, he gained
31 years of policing experience, working his way up to the role of Detective Sergeant on the Nottinghamshire Police Serious and Organised Crime Unit. He also worked undercover in covert

policing in the UK, the Netherlands, and Poland. Andy is an international drug
trafficking expert, regularly provides evidence for the courts, and gives talks in the Netherlands, something that develops his expertise and allows him to bring real-life experience to his teaching.
He has won the student-led
Student Union award for Outstanding Teaching Staff for the past six years, and been awarded the Vice Chancellor’s Teaching Award, both of which recognise and celebrate inspirational teaching at NTU. Andy said: “I feel very blessed to
be in a position to actually give something to our young students in the form of my experience from my years of policing. “Being nominated for this award
is such an honour which reflects the fantastic students at NTU.” Afua Acheampong, Vice
President, Education, Nottingham Trent Students’ Union, added: “Andy has been able to demonstrate what outstanding teaching looks like at NTU. He has been seen to go above and beyond for his students, often supplying additional learning resources, offering industry advice, and his love for his subject really shines through in his teaching.” The winner will be announced at
the THE Awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London in November.
