The annual Education Awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of staff and students and their contributions to our learning community through the following awards:
The Student Choice Awards give students the chance to thank members of staff who have inspired and supported them during their time at UCL, letting these staff members know that their hard work makes a difference. There are 8 different award categories, covering a variety of areas and enabling a wide range of both teaching and non-teaching staff to be nominated.
This year 1,267 nominations were submitted covering over 700 individual members of staff. A list of all staff who received a nomination can be found on our Roll of Honour webpage.
From these nominations, our panel of students has chosen 3 staff members to be shortlisted for each category, with a winner selected from this shortlist of 3. The award winners will be announced from Wednesday 10 June.
