Why get involved?

The Study UK Alumni Awards raise the profile of UK higher education globally and promote the UK as a study destination for international students. Press and PR coverage of the 2019-20 Alumni Award winners and finalists reached an audience of more than 230 million globally.  

The design assets are for use by any organisation and/or person that is part of the Study UK Alumni Awards campaign. This includes UK Higher Education Institutions wishing to promote the campaign, participating British Council country offices, scholarship awarding institutions and bodies, and government partners.

If you use any of the photography from the images folder please credit British Council.

You can access further information about the campaign in the downloads section at the bottom of the page. This includes further details on eligibility criteria, timelines, shortlisting and judging. 

If you need help or assistance in how to use them, please contact the Study UK Alumni Awards team.

National award ceremonies

Each year, award ceremonies organised by the British Council take place in countries around the world where winners and finalists gain press opportunities, international audiences, and more importantly, become a part of networking and professional development opportunities in the UK. Also, get an opportunity to build professional networks and business connections.

There is usually a dinner, with opportunities to network and awards presented the British Council Country Director and the British Ambassador in country. 

For information, in this Dropbox link you can see images and films from previous award ceremonies hosted by British Council offices across the world.  

For 2020-21, some countries were unable to host face-to-face award ceremonies due to Covid-19. These may take place later in the year, but some have chosen to host online ceremonies instead.
