Learning & Teaching

The Student Teaching Awards (STAs), run by the Student Representative Council, help recognise the great work of some amazing members of staff and can also help highlight best practice. Nominated by students and hosted by the Students’ Representative Council, the STAs is a celebration of the outstanding contributions of our faculty and staff. The awards night took place on the 27th March 2026, with fourteen colleagues collecting an award for their excellent teaching and support of learning. 

Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners! You can find the full list of nominees and check out some photos from the evening on the SRC webpages.
