Could you be an award winner in 2019? Get ready to share your success with the world…

The Alumni Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of alumni and showcase the impact and value of a UK higher education. Award winners and finalists are leaders in their fields who have used their experience of studying at a UK university to make a positive contribution to their communities, professions and countries.

Raise your international profile, build  your professional networks and business connections, and win a trip to  the UK: just some of the benefits of winning a prestigious Alumni Award.

Enhancing success and widening networks

All selected award finalists benefit from increased PR and press  opportunities that raise their profile and share their success with  international audiences. Winners of the global awards will be celebrated  on a global scale and invited to the UK for a networking and  professional development opportunity. Following the awards, winners will  be invited to join our panel of judges, to participate in the judging  of future award competitions.

What our award winners say

“Winning an Alumni Award has boosted my credibility to both my  customers and partners which has impacted my business greatly.” – Theresia Alit Widyasari, Alumni Award winner, Entrepreneurial Award, Indonesia 2016 and alumna of the University of Westminster

“Winning the Alumni Award has been a fantastic experience and highly  rewarding, especially considering that a decade ago going to a  University in the UK was my greatest dream and today that same dream is  proud of who I have become and the work that I am doing. The award has  also made me inspire other students and alumna to pursue their dreams  and overcome the stereotypical norms in our society.” – Fiza  Farhan, Alumni Award winner, Social Impact Award, Pakistan 2016 and  alumna of the University of Warwick – Warwick Business School

“I felt that all the finalists had done great works too. It also made  me realise that what we consider normal, maybe for other people is  incredible. Therefore, if you, as the UK alumni, have done works or  social activities, do not hesitate to apply for the Alumni Awards.” – Ahmad Fuadi, Alumni Award winner, Social Impact category, Indonesia 2016 and alumnus of the University of London

Here are just some of the other benefits that award winners and finalists have gained since receiving their award:

• Opportunities to connect with people of influence at award  cerenmonies, and afterwards: Alumni Award winners in India met the Duke  and Duchess of Cambridge at the Queen’s 90th birthday party celebrations  in Delhi, 2016
• Press and PR opportunities and  increased national/regional/global profile: Alumni Award winners have  been featured in national newspapers of participating countries, for  example the Jakarta Post in Indonesia, and the Daily Graphic in Ghana 
• Professional contacts and connections
• Reconnecting with UK university and the UK
• Having a platform to be able to share experiences of UK education/career with others (particularly young people).
