This year the awards received more than 1,700 nominations, all of which were reviewed by the Students’ Association’s Sabbatical Officers and a group of nearly 100 student volunteers.
The Teaching Awards, run by the Students' Association, celebrate the very best of teaching and support at Edinburgh. The awards provide students with an opportunity to thank staff who have helped shape their time at the University.
