The Student Choice Awards are a way for students to thank amazing members of staff, and let them know that their hard work makes a difference. Students’ feedback about the kind of education that works for them also enables the Union to work with UCL to spread examples of best-practice.

Nominations for the 2021 Student Choice Awards ran from Monday 1 February to Sunday 28 March. 

A record breaking 1482 nominations were received across the eight award categories, for 731 individual members of staff. 

The Roll of Honour below includes all staff members who received a nomination for each of the eight awards. A shortlist of three staff members for each award was announced on Wednesday 14 April, with the eight award winners announced on Wednesday 9 June as part of the Education Awards.   

Active Student Partnership

The award for Active Student Partnership gives students the opportunity to thank a member of staff who’s committed to listening to and working with students and their representatives to improve and change education at UCL.
