Every year the Education Awards celebrate the contributions of staff and students to improving the Queen Mary learning experience. The Education Awards include the Course Rep Awards in six categories, awarded to Course Reps who have made a huge difference to students and their courses, and the Teaching Awards in 12 categories, awarded to teaching and support staff that have made an outstanding contribution to the student experience.
The competition was especially strong this year, with the highest number of nominations ever, making the selection extremely difficult and the awards even more prestigious. The Course Rep of the Year is Katherine Tinoco Reyes, MSc International Human Resource Management, and the Teacher of the Year is Davor Jancic, School of Law!
