This year, the College HE award will be presented at the Association of Colleges annual College HE conference on 4 March 2015 in central London.

“I would recommend that anyone who cares about learning and film apply for a Learning on Screen award.  Even if you just get shortlisted it’ll be a treat just to attend the awards evening – you’ll meet some wonderful people and learn about some interesting projects.” – Lucy Worsley, guest speaker at the 2014 awards.
