Each year, The University of Queensland proudly honours its most outstanding educators and innovators through the UQ Excellence in Teaching and Learning Awards.
These prestigious awards shine a spotlight on the programs, services, and individuals who make an exceptional impact on the quality of student learning and the overall student experience. They recognise those who go above and beyond—whether by leading transformative teaching initiatives, delivering innovative learning support, or making a significant contribution within their Faculty or across the wider UQ community.
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners! A special shout-out to our incredible HASS recipients, who achieved remarkable success across multiple award categories. Your dedication and creativity continue to inspire and elevate the UQ learning experience.
