The University of Sheffield has won the 2010 award for Outstanding Student Services Team, and York St John University the award for Outstanding Student Admissions Team, in the second ever annual selection by the Times Higher Education Awards, presented at the Grosvenor House Hotel this month.
Launched last year amid what the THE calls 'the gloom of deep recession' the awards were designed to celebrate the leadership, management, financial and business skills of the higher education sector - they have sparked an enthusiastic response around the UK and for 2010 there were 264 entries across the 18 categories.
Other winners include the University of Newcastle, for their Research Management team, and the University of Derby, for Leadership and Management.
The judges said that their choice of winners 'demonstrated the professionalism and dedication that underpin the UK's world-class research and teaching enterprise and give the sector an unrivalled body of best practice.'
