The University scooped three accolades at last night’s Times Higher Education Awards in recognition of excellence in research, student support and outreach.
The awards were presented at a ceremony hosted by comedian Julian Clary at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel where the University was shortlisted in five categories overall. The ‘Oscars of Higher Education’ recognise UK universities and their staff for exceptional teaching, research, student support, entrepreneurship, collaborations and outreach.
