The Nottingham Advantage Award (NAA) is an innovative program led by staff and driven by student voices. This initiative focuses on incorporating peer mentoring, open educational resources (OERs), and supporting undergraduate students as researchers. It aims to create a dynamic platform for experiential learning and employer engagement through various challenges, such as evaluating the relationship to the academic curriculum and scaling accessibility. By foregrounding multiple outcomes and addressing student demands, the NAA aspires to widen access while maintaining its niche appeal.
