The annual Vice-Chancellor's Awards celebrate the extraordinary contributions of our colleagues across all areas of the staff community, whose creativity, passion and outstanding skills bring our strategy to life.
These awards are an opportunity for everyone and anyone to shine a spotlight on colleagues’ outstanding work and share the resulting positive impact upon the University community. Together we can learn more about the day-to-day excellence that embodies our community and ensure the teams and individuals delivering exceptional work are recognised and celebrated for all they do.
Our 2023 Vice-Chancellor’s Awards winners were revealed on Thursday 5 October in a ceremony at St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton.
We’re delighted to share the full list of winners with you, which you can find in the table below.
