Student Success and Ulster Graduate Award recognition

The Student Success Team is here to support your learning journey from day one. By engaging in specific activities and resources offered by the Student Success Centre, you can work towards achieving Ulster Graduate Award recognition.

Take this opportunity to enhance your transition to university, boost your academic, study and digital skills and gain the recognition you deserve through the Ulster Graduate Award.

To complete one activity towards your Ulster Graduate Award, attend the workshops listed below and complete the EDI training. Once you have done so, contact uusuccess@ulster.ac.uk, providing the dates you completed each workshop. You will then receive confirmation of completion, which you should keep for your final application for the Ulster Graduate Award.
