The Discipline Excellence in Learning, Teaching & Assessment (DELTA) Award is the only team award at discipline level in the Irish higher education system for teaching and learning enhancement.
It is aimed at discipline groups within HEIs that can demonstrate a record of excellence in teaching, learning and assessment and a commitment to ongoing, shared, strategic enhancement.
The DELTA Award, received from the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, recognises sustained excellence and leadership in teaching and learning practice. Since 2022, a total of twelve DELTA Awards have been granted across Ireland, each valid for a three-year period.
Of these national award holders, five are based at Munster Technological University, with three located within the Faculty of Business. This strong representation reflects the Faculty’s ongoing dedication to advancing high-quality, evidence-informed teaching and learning and contributing to enhancement initiatives at both institutional and national levels.
Within the Faculty of Business, several discipline teams have successfully attained the DELTA Award.
Department of Marketing and International Business
The Marketing discipline in the Department of Marketing and International Business was recognised for excellence in authentic assessment practices, in 2021. This Award was renewed in 2025 following a successful revalidation application.
