The annual UCL Education Awards are an opportunity to reward excellence in teaching across the university. Staff and student representatives are nominated and voted for by students, and we are delighted that once again so many people from The Bartlett were put forward.

The Student Choice Awards, organised by the UCL Students' Union, give all UCL students the chance to nominate staff who have gone the extra mile in a range of categories, from excellent personal tutoring to amazing administrative support.

2018 winners announced

At the awards ceremony on Monday 4 June, the following winners from The Bartlett were announced:

Faculty Academic Rep of the Year

Joanna McLean, 3rd-year student (Architecture BSc), The Bartlett School of Architecture

Joanna has been recognised for her hard work and enthusiasm in supporting the new Bartlett Architecture Student Forum and influencing change in personal tutoring systems and portfolio recommendations and guides.

Provost’s Education Awards 

Elisabete Cidre, Principal Teaching Fellow, Bartlett School of Planning

Elisabete has been instrumental in driving the undergraduate offer of the Bartlett School of Planning forward, completely reshaping and improving all aspects of content and delivery. She is continually improving and seeks out opportunities for innovation, introducing new ways of teaching and helping the students get the most from their time at UCL.

Elisabete is described by her colleagues as “inspired by a student-led ethos that listens to their needs and aspirations to foster an enhanced student experience."

Jane Rendell, Professor, The Bartlett School of Architecture 

Jane has been awarded for her long-term work on ethics in built environment teaching, research and professional practice and her department believes she is a real star! Jane’s pioneering ethical inquiry inspires reflexive, supportive, creative education of the future built environment practitioners and it is precisely this sort of unsung, but vital work that merits recognition with a UCL Education Award.

It is really pleasing that so many members of the Bartlett’s staff have been nominated by students for the awards this year. A good student experience depends on a lot of people working behind the scenes, and it is nice for this to be recognised.
