How are the awards judged?
The NUS Awards 2016 will be judged by an independent panel of experienced and influential people from across the education sector and beyond. They will be judging submissions using the criteria we’ve announced and these questions form the basis of the nomination form so you should answer the questions as best as you can with as much relevant information as possible. The judges will be looking at the questions you have answered on the nomination form in line with the Quality Students’ Unions guidance. More information about this can be found here.
