University of the Year shortlist for Northumbria

12th March 2024

Northumbria University has been shortlisted for four awards in the Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs) – including the coveted University of the Year award.

Now in its 11th year, the WUSCAs is the only Higher Education awards ceremony in the UK where institutions are solely judged and reviewed by students across a variety of categories.

The annual event is a celebration of the student voice and the hard work of higher education providers across the UK to deliver exceptional student experiences.

Thanks to the reviews by Northumbria students, the University has been shortlisted in the following categories:

  • University of the Year
  • Facilities
  • Student Life
  • International

The WUSCAs collect reviews from more than 100 universities in the UK across 11 different categories. The shortlist shows the top 10 institutions for each category, as rated by students themselves.

The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in London on 24 April, presented by comedian, writer, and award-winning actor, Sir Lenny Henry CBE.

A full list of the shortlisted institutions for each category can be viewed on the WUSCAs website.

Northumbria University was named the University of the Year in the Times Higher Education Awards 2022 and was also named Research University of the Year and Modern University of the Year in a new league table published by the Daily Mail last year.

The University sits in the top 40 in the latest Guardian University Guide and Complete University Guides – adding to the University’s ever-growing list of achievements.
