UCL School of Management is proud to announce that 11 of our fantastic staff members have been nominated in the UCL Education Awards. Held annually, the awards recognise the staff who are making outstanding contributions to the learning experience and success of students, with the School’s 2025 nominees including a host of both academic and professional services staff.
UCL’s Education Awards are divided into 3 categories: the UCL Provost Education Awards (consisting of nominations from fellow staff members), the Student Choice Awards (organised by the UCL Students’ Union and involving students nominating staff members), and the Academic Rep of the Year Awards, which sees students and staff nominating outstanding student reps.
With only the UCL Provost Education Award shortlist announced so far, we are delighted to see UCL School of Management’s BSc Information Management for Business team nominated in the ‘Enhancing Belonging’ category in recognition for their efforts in supporting diversity and creating a sense of community for students.
