Awards background
In 2024, what was previously five separate groups of awards, including the Vice-Chancellor's Education Awards, became a University-wide celebration for staff across Oxford.
The Vice-Chancellor’s Awards recognise the achievements and celebrate success across the collegiate University, from academics and researchers to professional, technical and support staff.
Award categories
In 2024, the Vice-Chancellor's Awards comprised 11 categories spanning strategically important areas, including three related to education:
- Support for Students Award: for groups of colleagues who have contributed to supporting students' development
- Innovative Teaching and Assessment Award: for groups of colleagues who have implemented new approaches to education at Oxford
- Inclusive Teaching and Assessment Award: for groups of colleagues who have adopted approaches that make teaching more inclusive for different groups of students.
View the categories on the awards webpage.
I have seen first-hand that colleagues across Oxford are pushing back the boundaries of education. These awards recognise the commitment of our staff and students, and shine a light on the significant contributions to educational innovation and enhancement that is taking place across the University.
