Staff awards

The staff awards are to celebrate the University staff who make a difference.

There are hundreds of people working hard to create a great student experience - from academic staff like lecturers and academic advisors, to the people behind the scenes in teams like the library, catering or student life. Why not give something back by nominating the staff who have supported you to achieve your potential?

Take a look at our awards categories:

This award goes to the best advisor who has supported you on your uni journey, helping you produce your best work, directing you to relevant opportunities, and encouraging you when you need it.

Best professional staff
