SEED Award

At Queen Mary we aim to empower our students to enhance and co-create their educational experience. The SEED Award was set up to recognise our students’ contribution to shaping their education.

What is the SEED Award?

SEED stands for Student Enhanced Engagement and Development.  The SEED Award recognises our students’ contributions and aims to encourage the development of new opportunities for all our students to engage with educational development across Queen Mary.A student standing in the library at Whitechapel

If you have worked on an activity relating to teaching or student learning, you can apply for a SEED Award. You’ll need to provide a written statement which outlines your contribution, together with an endorsement from a staff member.

 

The award is a great initiative that not only recognises students for their contributions but also offers them an opportunity to reflect on the work they have done, how it will/has impacted those around them and the Queen Mary community at large.
