The Vice-Chancellor's Awards 2025

Celebrating outstanding staff from across the University
The Â鶹´«Ã½ has ended 2025 with a celebration of people who go above and beyond in their work, at the annual Vice-Chancellor’s Awards.
The event’s eight categories recognised people in everything from student support to international success – and some of the University’s brightest stars were recognised. 
The awards are open for all staff across the University, and any member of staff within the University can nominate another colleague or team, before the shortlist and eventual winners are chosen by a judging panel. 
The VC Award winners in full:
  • Making a difference through research and impact –
  • Enhancing learning and teaching –
  • Building global connections –
  • Working with communities and the public –
  • Supporting a great student experience – Academic Team
  • Championing equality, diversity and inclusion –
  • Outstanding support and service – (Tony Easton and Colin Gibbs)
  • Promoting sustainability –

I am so proud to be Vice-Chancellor of this University, and these awards are a brilliant celebration of our people and the impact they have.

It’s especially important to share in our successes this year, as 2025 has been challenging here, and across the higher education sector. 
Together, our staff help to make the Â鶹´«Ã½ the extraordinary place that it is, and we’re so lucky to have such an amazing community here supporting our students, our world-leading research, and each other. Well done to all the winners and nominees, and here’s to a brilliant 2026.
