Applications for the British Council Study UK Alumni Awards 2023-24 are now open.
The British Council Study UK Alumni Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of alumni and showcase the impact and value of a UK higher education. They are open to alumni living outside of the UK only who studied at degree level or above at a UK institution within the past 15 years (2008 onwards). If you meet this criteria and have made a difference in your profession, community or country since graduating from Royal Holloway, we want to celebrate your achievements!
There are four award categories to choose from:
- Science and Sustainability Award - recognising alumni who have distinguished themselves through their career and achievements in the world of science and sustainability, and who can demonstrate the impact and scale of their achievements in their profession, and beyond. Areas of work could include, but are not limited to: climate action, clean energy, medicine, sustainable cities and communities, engineering, industry and construction.
- Culture and Creativity Award - recognising alumni who have carved a career for themselves in arts and culture. We are looking for individuals who can demonstrate their artistic ingenuity, influence and creativity.
