The UUSU Learning & Teaching Awards recognise and celebrate our outstanding staff and academic reps across a range of categories supporting the student journey at UU. What makes these awards stand out is they are completely student-led, organised, and managed through UUSU. Nominations come from students, with staff only eligible to submit in the Academic Rep category.
We received over 380 nominations this year showing the impact of hundreds of individual staff members, teams and reps.
The judging and shortlisting panel was made up of student reps from across Faculties and the Doctoral College. Thanks to all the students and staff who made nominations and to our student shortlisting panel.
Congratulations to those short-listed - see you at the awards on 29th May!
