Unsurprisingly, our fifth year of our annual learning & teaching awards has been a wee bit different. The entire nomination, short-listing, and awarding process has been completed whilst the country has been in lockdown and we all work from home. What hasn't changed, is the enthusiasm from students to get involved and tell us about some of their "ECSA-llent" experiences about being a student at Edinburgh College.

  • Almost 400 nominations from students
  • More than 200 people were nominated in at least 1 category
  • A student panel including the current President & President-elect short-listed the nominations

The awards for the winners of each category were also slightly different this year, with nominating students and awards winners recording a short video message as we unveiled the winners through our social media channels. If you didn't see it the first time round, you can watch the whole thing below

 

 

Everyone who was nominated will recieve a certificate of recognition from the Students' Associaiton complete with a quote from the student(s) who nominated them. A massive thanks to everyone who took part and well doen to the winners. You can view the shortlists for each category as well as full list of all those nominated in each cartegory here, and find out who the 2020 winners were below.
