Winners have been announced for the first-ever #WeAreInternational Awards.
Last night, the UK’s international education community came together to recognise the outstanding individuals and institutions shaping a world-class experience for international students.
From over 420 entries representing 120 institutions, 63 finalists were shortlisted – and now, 13 inspiring winners have been chosen by expert judges for their exceptional contributions.
These winners represent the very best of our sector. From inspiring international students and alumni to exceptional institutional initiatives, they showcase the talent and dedication that makes the UK a global leader in international education.
The judging panel included #WeAreInternational Student Ambassadors, UKCISA staff, and leading experts in the sector, with representatives from Advance HE, AGCAS BUILA, Guild HE, IHE, London Higher, Million Plus, the NUS, OIA HE, Russell Group, Student Minds, University Alliance, and Wonkhe.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this year's Awards. By taking the time to nominate a student, friend, or colleague, serve on the judging panel, or sponsor the awards, you've been part of telling these incredible stories. We would also like to thank our event sponsor Duolingo English Test.
