FACULTY STUDENT
AWARDS / 22 March
The awards highlight the huge
amount of talent and potential
within the Faculty and the
passion our students have for
their subjects.
They also aim to recognise and
reward outstanding effort and
showcase how our students
have been able to apply skills
such as Critical Thinking,
Creativity and Communication
to real – life situations in order
to make a difference in our local
community.
Staff and Students are invited
to nominate a student and you
can nominate the student for
multiple categories! Nominations
do not have to be directly related
to university studies.
Outstanding Contribution to Arts, Humanities
& Culture
Do you know someone who is passionate about
the arts and humanities? Perhaps they are a
talented artist, poet, dancer or musician? Has
their passion inspired you and maybe others to
get involved? (All students who have contributed
to the Faculty undergraduate Showcase are
automatically shortlisted for this Award)
Outstanding Contribution to the Local
Community
Our students contribute thousands of hours
in the local community. This could be through
supporting disadvantaged groups or by volunteering
and working with a community project.

entrepreneurs’ hard work.
