The annual UCL Education Awards celebrate the excellence and commitment of UCL’s teaching and support staff. The awards are divided into the Student Choice Awards and the UCL Provost Education Awards.

Student Choice Awards

UCL Students’ Union organises the Student Choice Awards, which give students a platform to nominate staff who have positively impacted their academic journey. Staff are nominated across eight categories, which include research supervision, personal tutoring and commitment to diverse and inclusive education.

Architecture staff were particularly well represented in the Exceptional Feedback and Inspiring Teaching Delivery categories, with 13 names nominated across the two divisions.
