The Vice-Chancellor’s Awards are a University-wide celebration of Oxford's outstanding people.
There were 160 award entries across the 11 categories this year, with 1,300 individuals included in the nominations. The Vice-Chancellor’s Awards recognise the achievements and celebrate success across the collegiate University, from academics and researchers to professional, technical and support staff.
The Awards Showcase of shortlisted nominations took place in the Weston Library on 13 May 2025, and the winners were announced at a special ceremony hosted by the Vice-Chancellor in the Sheldonian Theatre on 15 May 2025.
The Excellence across Oxford category is for 'colleagues who have demonstrated excellence in supporting and furthering the University's academic mission'. The Oxford Cancer Team was shortlisted for the Supporting our Mission Award under this category, which recognises colleagues who have made a difference to how the University delivers its core mission – with a particular focus on underpinning services.
The Awards Ceremony and Showcase this year truly captured the very best of Oxford, celebrating the impact we have not only within the University but also in our wider community and across the globe. By bringing together academics, researchers, professional services and support staff, and external partners, I hope these awards will help spark new ideas, inspire collaboration, and encourage us all to keep delivering excellence in our core mission of teaching and research.
- Professor Irene Tracey, CBE, FRS, FMedSci – Vice-Chancellor
