Following a great number of nominations and a challenging shortlisting process, the panel of students and staff representatives have announced the shortlisted nominees for the first-ever Student Experience Awards. These awards have been designed to recognise, reward, and celebrate students who contribute to the culture and values of our University community beyond their academic studies.
Congratulations to all the finalists, and many thanks to everyone who took the time to write such insightful nominations – this process stands as testament to our brilliant students and the invaluable contributions they will make to society, whatever they decide to do in the future.
