We are delighted to announce the winners of the 2023 UCL Education Awards.
Staff and students from across UCL came together on Wednesday 7 June on the Wilkins Terrace to celebrate the staff who go the extra mile to support student learning. Congratulations to the winners of the Provost's Education Awards, Student Choice Awards and Academic Rep of the Year.
The Education Awards comprise of:
While the Student Choice Awards focus on rewarding excellence as experienced by students, UCL Education Awards recognise the work of colleagues that is less visible to students; work that has enabled excellence or facilitated innovation in teaching and learning.
The awards were presented by UCL's President & Provost, Dr Michael Spence and Professor Kathy Armour, Vice-Provost Education and Student Experience, and Hamza Ahmed, the Students' Union Education Sabbatical Officer.
On opening, UCL President and Provost, Dr Michael Spence commented:
“These awards are really special, becuse the fact that your really busy students and colleagues are willing to make time to show their appreciation and esteem in this way shows you are all doing something really special. I’m tremendously honoured to be here to celebrate you all and to say thank you.
Professor Kathy Armour, Vice-Provost Education and Student Experience said:
““These awards celebrate everything that is excellent about Education at UCL... student-centred education is central to the academic mission at UCL and that it fundamentally impacts on the lives of our learners: both whilst they are with us and as they go out and change the world around them. Ensuring an excellent education is everybody’s business and so I’m incredibly proud to see staff and students working in partnership to achieve this shared endeavour all over UCL every day.”
A massive congratulations to all the winners this year!
