Prof Anne Moran, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Global Engagement at St Mary’s said: “I am thrilled that the University has been nominated in so many categories. We are constantly striving to improve student services and facilities across the University, and this is a clear indication that our dedication to student satisfaction is being recognised within the wider HE landscape.” The awards are now in their third year, and focus on offering an unbiased view of university life from the students’ point of view. Winners of the WhatUni Student Choice Awards 2016 will be announced at the central London awards ceremony on Thursday 14^th April.
