Celebrating collaboration in business and research. The Awards celebrate the positive impact our students and academic staff are having on societies and economies, both locally and internationally.

The Awards celebrate the transformational impact the university’s students, graduates and research are having on societies and economies across the globe.

The event, which took place at St Anne’s Cathedral Belfast, recognised the University’s collaborations with partners in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, both locally and globally.

On the night, Health and Social Care Leadership Centre, White Ink Architects and the Washington Ireland Programme were among the placement employers who were acknowledged by Ulster University for their role in supporting the next generation of highly skilled, industry-ready graduates.
