UCSU Awards

Every year, over 400 students give their time for free to ensure their class has a voice or to run an activity, leisure or academic group. We think this is pretty cool and that their efforts should be recognised and the Awards aim to do just that!

Both staff and students are invited to enter nominations for their inspiring Rep or student-led Group and a panel is then put together to select those that stand out.

All students and shortlisted students will then be invited to join us for the UCSU Ball & Awards which is usually held just before the Easter break.
