Nominations for our 2022 Alumni Awards are now open and will close at 23:59 on Monday 13 December.
Nominate yourself, or someone you know for an Alumni Award. There are no restrictions on the number of nominations you can submit, and nominations can be made by graduates, staff, honorary award holders, current students and other members of the community such as your relative, neighbour, friend or colleague.
To enter, you will need to provide a short but detailed statement describing the qualities and contributions that make your nominee a worthy recipient of an award. The statement should accurately demonstrate how your nominee’s contribution has made a difference within their chosen profession or within the community, and why they should be publicly recognised.
If you have any questions or would like further guidance, please contact us.
