Nominations for this year’s Education Awards are now open. Submit to your Faculty or professional services unit today!  

The Education Awards

The annual Education Awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of staff and students and their contributions to our learning community. They comprise of these awards:

• UCL Education Awards (staff nominated by staff)
• Student Choice Awards (staff nominated by students) 
• Academic Rep of the Year Awards (Reps nominated by students and staff)

While the Student Choice Awards focus on rewarding excellence in practice, as experienced by students, UCL Education Awards recognises the work of colleagues that is less visible to students – work that has enabled excellent practice or facilitated innovation in teaching and learning. 

This includes recognising the work of postgraduate students who teach and Professional Services who support students' learning. 

Award categories 

The judging panel is looking for strong evidence of impact and is particularly interested in examples demonstrating excellence across UCL in: 

• Academic support, with a focus on personal tutoring and/or research supervision 
• Assessment and feedback 
• Education success for all 
• Eliminating awarding gaps 
• Outstanding response to teaching and/or support during a pandemic  
• Postgraduate Teaching Assistants (PGTAs)
• Staff-student partnership
