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 award winners will be announced at our Education Awards Ceremony on Wednesday 8 June.
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 9 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 we received 933 nominations covering over 500 individual members of staff. You can view the full list of nominations at our roll of honour page.
