Glyndwr’s Academic Development Team (ADT) has scooped Advance HE’s 2021 Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE).

The University is just one of 14 institutions to be recognised with the CATE award this year, and the win is made even more impressive by the fact that Glyndwr’s ADT was established just a little less than five years ago.
