Ulster University Shortlisted for

University of the Year

Times Higher Education Awards 2024

The Times Higher Education annual awards celebrate the best of higher education in the UK and Ireland, with the University of the Year award 2024 honouring exceptional university performance during the 2022-23 academic year.

It was a momentous year for Ulster University attracting the attention of presidents, politicians and changemakers. The institution marked the completion of its new, state-of-the-art Belfast city centre campus, one of the largest higher education capital projects in Europe, earned a multi-million pound cross-border investment for its campus in Derry~Londonderry and was propelled on to the world stage when it hosted the only UK visit of the President of the United States of America to lead the commemorations of the 25th Anniversary of the Belfast Good Friday Agreement.

UU Connects is delighted to share this fantastic news with our alumni community who are integral to the recognition the university receives. The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony in Birmingham on 28 November.
