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 2025 Student Choice Awards closed on Friday 28th March.
A total of 1120 nominations were received across the nine award categories, for 556 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 three to four staff members for each award can be found here, and the nine award winners will be announced on Wednesday 4 June as part of the Education Awards Ceremony. You can see the full Education Awards shortlist here.
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.
