Felicity received a VC Award for activities which have significantly increased our public engagement and outreach as a University and have supported the development of a community within the University. Several community groups and other partners now regularly contribute to sustainability events on our campuses.
Jo’s VC Award was in recognition of her work, for nearly six years and in her own time, running the Saturday Art Club in Cambridge. The opportunities the club brings to a new generation of creative talent are priceless, particularly at a time when pupils are suffering from cuts to the arts in schools.
Chris won a VC Award for developing an online tool to address the complicated task of evaluating the performance of academic courses. The tool, now available through QlikView, draws in information from a variety of sources to allow faculties to fully evaluate overall course performance and enabling managers to make robust decisions.
Colleen was highly commended for her active involvement in, and championing of, our work to address issues of violence against women, harassment and hate crime affecting University students. As an active campaigner both within the University and nationally, Colleen has ensured that this work, along with her commitment to diversity and inclusion, has had a positive impact on her own students.
A VC’s award was made to the Corporate Programme Team in FBL for its work in establishing ARU as the market leader in delivering the Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship (CMDA). Its work not only makes a significant contribution to our income, but is also highly valued by the students, gaining a 100% NSS satisfaction score from all three cohorts.
The Customer Services Team in the University Library won its VC Award for ensuring that our Library maintains its commitment to excellence through being collaborative and pro-active. Using imaginative user engagement strategies, the team have instigated a number of innovative user experience projects which have led to changes in policy, the library environment and operations.
A VC Award was won by the multi-disciplinary DBA team for developing a new research work-based DBA designed to fit in with the busy schedules of senior executives. The new model DBA has significantly contributed to tuition fee income and increased student numbers. In 2017/18 there were just 34 students on the DBA with no new starters. By 2019/2020 the forecast is for 190 students and 100 new starters.
The Degrees at Work team was awarded a VC’s Award for its exceptional contribution to student numbers, income and our reputation. Over the past two years, Degrees at Work has grown from 85 apprentice students in September 2017 to 710 in January 2019. In 2018/19 alone, ARU signed apprenticeship contracts worth over £10 million and contracted with 227 employers.
The Policing Team – Emma Brett and Carina O’Reilly – won its VC Award for designing, developing and delivering two new undergraduate degrees: BSc (Hons) Policing and Criminal Justice (Chelmsford) and BA (Hons) Criminology and Policing (Cambridge), the latter of which has received 105 applications. Emma and Carina are currently working with the College of Policing to create a third award, as well as contributing their expertise to a larger University team developing bids to deliver our BA (Hons) Policing degree apprenticeships. Their hard work is helping us to realise our vision to be a leading provider of police education and training.
Jeannette runs a highly successful arts-based community research and outreach project ‘New Routes, Old Routes’, which raises awareness of historical and contemporary experiences of exile and migration in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.
The project makes a genuine contribution to the local community and represents true dissemination of Jeannette’s research expertise beyond academia. It is ambitious in terms of the sheer number of people reached, the diversity and originality of the activities, and the varied external partners and funding she has secured.
As a Senior Research Fellow, Chris has responsibilities that cover the generation of external research income, contributing to the research environment of the Global Sustainability Institute, and supporting colleagues across the University. He co-leads one of the research themes within the Institute and therefore takes on responsibility for part of ARU’s research strategy. These activities have put ARU in a lead position for shaping debates on how to account for ‘people and society’ when producing/delivering EU energy policy.
Baris Isikguner has transformed Computer Games Art since he took over as Course Leader for the BA(Hons) course in June 2015. At the end of his first year of leadership, with the able support of a talented course team, he had transformed the position of the course. The NSS overall satisfaction score that year (2016) was 100%, and student numbers had risen from June 2015 to September 2016 by 60%. In 2016/17, the NSS overall satisfaction score remained high, at 93.3%, whilst retention rose to 96.1%.
Handy has encouraged, mentored and graduated students with the Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) certification. The completion of the BMC has helped students to develop interests to be a part of the Anglia Ruskin Investment Group (ARIG). The ARIG is a complete redesign from the previously dormant Anglia Ruskin University Finance. With the help from his key Banking and Finance students, Handy has rebuilt the society from the ground up to be a much more active (and proactive) student-led, student-run society.
Sarah is the ARU lead for the innovative Addenbrooke’s Community Paediatric Ophthalmology Service (ACPOS), delivered within the University Eye Clinic (Cambridge). Not only has Sarah developed the business case for the service but she has also managed most of the processes to enable its establishment. This collaboration is unique in the East of England and brings benefits to the patients (infants and young children), as well as providing excellent teaching and research resources to ARU students and researchers.
The team has been heavily involved in all key stages of the LMS project, working together since its inception to ensure all undergraduate and postgraduate modules were populated for the beginning of each semester in 2017/18.
A cascading approach to CPD ensured all teaching staff were able to develop their modules in Canvas helping to ensure that all students have an equitable and inclusive learning experience. All team members exemplify excellence in cross-university collaboration and leadership in their respective contexts, ensuring project milestones are met.
In 2017, the Department for Education (Chelmsford) overturned several years of poor student satisfaction to achieve National Student Survey scores that exceeded the university and sector average for all our courses. In addition to the improvements to the NSS in 2017, staff satisfaction rose from the lowest in the University in 2015 to the highest in the 2017 Staff Survey. Greater job satisfaction has resulted in low staff turnover which has in turn provided consistency for students.
Joanne is the Research Administrator for the Faculty of Medical Science and supports the Director of Research and Director of Research Students. She also administers the Faculty Research Ethics Panel, 63 postgraduate research students, the laboratory safety subcommittee, the Faculty Research Subcommittee, undergraduate internships, research funding bids, REF2021, and supports the Faculty Research Degrees Subcommittee.
Joanne has been critical in developing and implementing a new system that has meant that the postgraduate research student annual review completion rate has increased from less than 70% to almost 100%.
The Compliance Team introduced a Right to Study initiative using identity validation software. This significantly overhauled ARU’s Enrolment processes, enhanced the student experience, and ensured the University met sponsorship duties under Tier 4. The Right to Study project has contributed to the development of high quality sustainable technical solutions to improve the student journey. The Project has raised the profile of ARU in the sector, increased the standing of our University, and positively contributed to relations with the Home Office.
The Learning Technology Unit in LAIBS have developed a reputation for delivering excellence in all areas of work underpinning our university’s move towards a digital campus and active learning curriculum. They have transformed our use of learning technology – contributing significantly to corporate strategies through their commitment to excellence. They delivered a plethora of impactful initiatives – leading on the adoption of the new LMS, piloting new software, championing the delivery of an inclusive learning community through technological innovation, and by sharing best practice across ARU and our partners.
John has been awarded a Vice Chancellor’s award for his excellence in PhD supervision. Over the years John has inspired his doctoral students and achieved early completions. Completing a PhD on time in a humanities subject where often significant space and time is required for the student to identify and refine their thesis project, is a considerable challenge. However most recently John has achieved the impressive feat of guiding four different PhD students to timely completion within a few months of each other. Each student’s thesis impressed external examiners and required few if any corrections.
Karen set up a Buddy Scheme in March 2015 to support September starters amidst growing concerns about student engagement and retention. She worked closely with Study Support to develop a training programme suitable for peer-to-peer mentoring and obtained buy-in from Heads of Department.
Over two years, 90 student buddies have been trained to offer pastoral support to an uptake of approximately 220 new Year 1 students. These results demonstrate that Karen has a real passion for engaging with our students who may need pastoral care. She has the imagination and drive to run with a project such as this and we recognise her efforts with this Vice Chancellor’s Award.
Lana has worked very closely with Residential Service for several years to purchase and set up a brand new online accommodation system, StarRez. She’s worked with the team to understand their needs and collaborated with the StarRez developers to review and refine the system so that it did exactly what we needed it to do. Lana continually strives to improve the software on a daily basis so that we get the very best out of it. Her involvement has helped to revolutionise the Residential Team’s accommodation processes to great effect.

The project has been such a success that Talis Aspire see ReadingLists@Anglia as a leader in the field.
Through Alison’s leadership, the department, Humanities and Social Sciences, consistently achieves excellent results. Whether it’s curriculum development, recruitment, student and staff satisfaction, or generating significant budget surpluses, sustained excellence is evident. Humanities and Social Sciences has grown from 640 to 885 students, achieves excellent scores in the National Student Survey and is a significant contributor to the healthy state of our University’s finances.
Patricia Turnbull and Claudine Wetherall developed a successful and sustainable new framework for practice learning. It has been adopted in health care organisation across Essex, Cambridge and Peterborough. The framework has transformed the issues associated with mentorship and the lack support for students so that every registered nurse (including over 5,000 mentors) and approximately 1,800 nursing students benefit. Furthermore, it will provide staff with a platform to promote excellence in practice and further enhance the reputation of ARU.
Julia works as Employability Champion for Anglia Law School and has led the introduction and development of a wide range of employability initiatives which give students an ‘edge’ in the job market. Students now benefit from a series of timetabled employability sessions tailored to their specific needs as Law students and as a result have gained employment despite a national lack of placements.
Professor Martin Salisbury, Pam Smy and Hannah Webb have all contributed to the success of the MA Children’s Book Illustration. This degree has a worldwide reputation for excellence, launched careers of numerous professional illustrators and achieved an impact on the publishing industry entirely disproportionate to its size. The course is now seen as a flagship, representing our University regularly in overseas events and award nominations.
The Music/Drama Therapy team are very successful; they’ve organised conferences, secured funding and publish widely. They also collaborate with a number of international partners and secure the esteem of their national and international colleagues. The team lead the discipline in identifying research priorities and engaging with government to articulate the need for music and drama therapy.
