What is Academic Rep of the Month?

This monthly award recognises Academic Reps (Course, Research, Lead Department, or Faculty Reps) who have delivered meaningful improvements, change, or projects for the students they represent at UCL. 

The monthly winner will receive a £15 One4All voucher and be highlighted across Students’ Union UCL media channels.

At the end of each month, the Education Officer, Postgraduate Officer and the SU Academic Representation Team will review the nominations and choose a winner.

Any UCL staff member, or student can submit a nomination. Reps are also able to submit nominations for themselves or their fellow reps.
