We’re getting ready to celebrate the students and staff that have made a real difference to your experience and enhanced your time with us at the University of Bedfordshire. From dedicated volunteers to enthusiastic student groups, to staff that make your day a little brighter, we want to say thank you to everyone who’s made life here at UoB better.

We'll be celebrating with you on May 25th, and more details of the glamorous awards ceremony are on their way, but for now, here’s all the awards up for grabs!


The Awards

Society of the Year

This award is to recognise a society that has excelled in creating an inclusive and engaging environment for its members. This society has also clearly provided a range of engaging opportunities for its members and maybe even the wider community.

Academic Rep of the Year

This award is split into four sub-categories: Health and Social Sciences | Creative Arts, Technology and Science | University of Bedfordshire Business School | Education English and Sport.

This award is to recognise a student who has devoted their time to the representation of students. Their contribution has led to a positive impact on the student experience and their passion has engaged and empowered students to ensure their voice is heard.

Staff Member of the Year

This award recognises the amazing staff member who has gone out of their way to make university experience better for students. From the cleaner that may have helped students out to the inspirational academic staff member.

Go Green Award

This award is to recognise a student or group that has gone the extra mile to ensure awareness of sustainability and the green impact was actively promoted. This student or group has dedicated their time to positively impact the University or the wider community. Their organisation and commitment to sustainability has stood out from the crowd and led to inspiring positive behaviour amongst students.

Student Communities Rep of the Year

Beds SU has hundreds of volunteers, from Campus Reps to Society Reps, to Network Reps, who represent the different communities of students here at UoB. This award recognises the reps who have gone above and beyond to foster communities of students.

Volunteer of the Year
