What are the Superstar Awards?

The Superstar Awards are run by the SU's Student Voice Team to celebrate exceptional staff members at the University.

These awards exist to recognise members of staff who have gone above and beyond in their role, or who have made a significant contribution to a student, department or school. They provide a unique opportunity for students to highlight excellence in teaching or student support, and offer exceptional staff members the chance to receive recognition for their efforts.

If you have a tutor who has inspired you, a staff member who has supported you through a difficult time at university or a lecturer who has made a big impact on your studies, say thank you by nominating them for a Superstar Award!

There are eight categories you can nominate a staff member for:

• Best Lecturer

• Best PGR Teaching Excellence Award (this Award is for PGRs who undertake teaching during their studies)
• Best Supporting Staff (this includes Student Support Services, Security, Estates and Catering Staff)
• Best Academic Support Staff
• Best Implementer of Feedback
• Most Inclusive Practice
