Alumnus/Alumna of the year

The annual Vice-Chancellor’s Awards – recognise alumni of the University, or one of its predecessor institutions, who have demonstrated outstanding achievement and serve as suitable role models and inspiration for the whole University community.

Since 2018, we have had two awards – UK Alumnus/Alumna of the Year, and International Alumnus/Alumna of the Year. This year we had an unprecedented number of entries and had the difficult task of creating a shortlist.

The winners were announced in a ceremony in June and you can find out about our 2021 winners
