Across FSE, staff and students are being celebrated for their exceptional contributions, innovation and impact

As the University’s most prestigious internal awards, the Distinguished Achievement Awards are held annually to honour the outstanding achievements of colleagues, students and teams across the institution. This year’s nominations recognise those making a significant contribution, with some local events taking place across the Faculty to bring nominees together and mark their achievements. The outcomes of the University Distinguished Achievement Awards will be announced later this summer.
