Celebrating Excellence in Postgraduate Education: Nominations Open for the 2025 Postgrad Awards
 
 At FindAUniversity, we’re committed to recognising and celebrating the outstanding contributions of individuals and initiatives that enhance the postgraduate student experience. Our 2025 Postgrad Awards open for nominations on the 11 March, and we’d love you to put your university forward for an award!
 

Why nominate?

The Postgrad Awards shine a spotlight on the dedication, talent and passion that goes into recruiting and creating supportive university environments for postgraduate students. We created our “Best Postgraduate Project or Campaign” category to bring much deserved attention to the initiatives that are making a real difference.

Nominating deserving candidates or projects not only acknowledges their hard work but also inspires others within the academic community. Winning an award provides invaluable exposure across our international platforms and can boost to your institution's reputation.

This years categories:

  • Masters Student of the Year

  • PhD Student of the Year

  • Masters Teacher of the Year

  • PhD Supervisor of the Year

  • Best Postgraduate Project or Campaign

For the "Best Postgraduate Project or Campaign" category, we are looking for initiatives that have measurably improved the experiences of prospective or current postgraduate students. This could involve wellbeing programmes, innovative marketing campaigns or other value adding initiatives.

 

Spotlight on last year's winner

In 2024, the University of Southampton's PGR Student Partners Scheme received the "Best Postgraduate Project or Campaign" award. This innovative initiative empowered postgraduate research students to collaborate, share insights and drive impactful change within their community. Their success story demonstrates what student-centred projects can achieve.

 

Upcoming webinar: insights from award winners

To provide deeper insights into this winning nomination and to learn from past successes, we are hosting a webinar on Tuesday 18th March 2025. This session will feature representatives from the University of Southampton discussing their award-winning PGR Student Partners Scheme. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on developing similar impactful postgraduate initiatives at their institution.
