Inspirational Award: Transformative Educational Approaches

Learning & Teaching Awards Winners 2025

Congratulations to those recognised at the recent UUSU Learning & Teaching Awards! It was a fantastic evening at the Ebrington Hotel, Derry~Londonderry celebrating our outstanding staff and academic reps supporting the student journey at UU.

We Won!

We are over the moon to have won four awards in the Student Achievement Awards Ireland organised by AMLÉ – Aontas na Mac Léinn in Éirinn. These awards are the annual opportunity for the student movement in Ireland to recognise the outstanding work of students and celebrate their contributions to the experience of their fellow students, and to wider society.

Teddy Bear Hospital

Child Health Society held their second Teddy Bear Hospital recently at the Waterside shared village in Derry/Londonderry. The student society partnered up with the Altnagelvin parents group and Western Health and Social trust. The day was a massive success with two groups of children arriving with their 'sick' teddy bears to help them get better at the hospital.

SU Awards 2025

The 2025 SU Awards were held recently to recognise & celebrate those students who contribute so much of their time, energy and expertise to improving the student experience. Congratulations to all the winners! Ticket sales for SU Awards raised £245 towards Women in Aid!
