The Social Science Awards Ceremony Returns to Celebrate Outstanding Student Contribution
This much-anticipated event is a key highlight of the academic calendar, offering a moment to reflect on and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our students as the academic year draws to a close.
The ceremony is designed to recognise academic excellence, honour, character and citizenship, and celebrate service to the community. From top academic performers to students who have demonstrated leadership, compassion, and dedication beyond the classroom, a broad range of awards will be presented to acknowledge the diverse strengths of our student body.
The ceremony not only serves as a platform for recognition but also encourages a strong sense of community, motivation, and pride among students and staff. It reinforces our commitment to building a positive and inspiring learning environment.

Claire Bowes, Course Leader for Psychosocial Studies, shares:
“We love to celebrate our students’ progress and achievements. This awards ceremony combines more formalised honours like ‘Best Achievement’ with informal, student-led recognitions such as ‘Funniest Classmate.’ We also take pride in spotlighting community work, reflecting our commitment to embedding citizenship across our Criminology, Psychosocial, and Sociology degrees. It’s always a highlight of the year.”
