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 16th March.

A total of 818 nominations were received across the nine award categories, for 479 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 will be announced in term three, and the nine award winners will be announced on Wednesday 10 June as part of the Education Awards Ceremony.
