2026 Cambridge Judge excellence in teaching awards

The feedback for his course (Negotiation) always jumps out as exceptionally enthusiastic and appreciative, both of the course but especially of Mark personally.

Professor Jagolinzer made the material interesting and relevant, and also demonstrated that he really cared about teaching students.

Professor Stott has had a meaningful impact on my learning journey at Cambridge. He creates a learning environment where students are encouraged to think critically and connect theory with real-world social challenges.

Shasha is amazing at what she does. It is clear she loves her subject and is adept at ensuring we lucky students also learn to love it. Her lectures are engaging, thought-provoking and enjoyable.

Simon's learning style is incredibly fluid and genuine. His blend of industrial and theoretical experience bring a unique perspective to the class. His witty attitude always bring light and motivate students to excel in his classes.

Econometrics can be a challenging and technical subject, but Professor Kattuman made his lectures interesting, engaging and genuinely enjoyable. He has a great sense of humour, which helped create a relaxed and positive learning environment. More importantly, he treated students with respect and often made us feel like colleagues rather than simply students. That made a real difference in how comfortable we felt participating and asking for help.

Many of us approached the course with some apprehension – it was highly technical and unfamiliar. From the very first day, however, Professor Jiang set a different tone. He arrived with genuine enthusiasm and had clearly taken the time to memorise not only our names but also our backgrounds.

What truly sets him apart is not just how clearly he explains complex economic ideas, but how he makes learning genuinely enjoyable. He has a sharp, natural sense of humour, and his lectures are full of unexpected movie references and real-life analogies that make even the most difficult concepts stick.

Simon has been an incredible professor throughout the programme. Management Praxis was the tether that held the programme together, from the first weekend to the last. Simon's teaching style is very emotive but challenging. It never got boring and pretty much all sessions were very interactive.

Lidia’s gentle teaching approach was greatly appreciated. The games she organised in class made the sessions engaging and memorable, and she also provided helpful guidance on readings and frameworks, which added real value to the overall learning experience.

I lead a team responsible for innovation initiatives, and the course made something uncomfortably clear: that I have been doing change management for years, but largely by instinct. What Professors Elizabeth and Raja (as Prithviraj is known) provided was a disciplined way to deconstruct complex situations, analyse the real dynamics at play, and then build a strategy around outcomes rather than reactions. The practical value was immediate.
