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 2023 Student Choice Awards ran from Friday 10 February to Friday 24 March.

A total of 936 nominations were received across the nine award categories, for 478 individual members of staff.

The Roll of Honour below includes all staff members who received a nomination for each of the nine awards.

A shortlist of two to four staff members for each award was announced on Wednesday 19 April, and the nine award winners will be announced on Wednesday 7 June as part of the Education Awards Ceremony.

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.
