University of Suffolk wins three Whatuni Student Choice Awards

The University of Suffolk scooped three awards at the prestigious Whatuni Student Choice Awards in London this week.

The University came home with the top prize in the Lecturers and Teaching Quality, Postgraduate, and International categories.

The awards, which are known as the WUSCAs for short, are based on student reviews across a host of themes, with more than 42,000 student reviews informing this year’s WUSCA winners.

The University was also shortlisted for four other categories this year – University of the Year, Career Prospects, Facilities, and Student Support.

It marks the second year in succession the University won the Lecturers and Teaching Quality award, while at last year’s awards the University also came away with the University of the Year and Student Support prizes.

Professor Jenny Higham, University of Suffolk Vice-Chancellor, said: “To come away with three awards from this year’s Whatuni Student Choice Awards is a tremendous achievement. We would like to extend our thanks to all of our students whose reviews contributed to us winning these awards.

“We strive to provide an exceptional student experience for all of our learners at Suffolk, and these awards demonstrate the satisfaction our students have with their experience.

“Thank you also to all the hard work of our staff who have ensured we have been recognised for Lecturers and Teaching Quality for two years running, and with our growing postgraduate provision and international community, Suffolk is a destination of choice for students globally.”

In the last year the University’s postgraduate course programme has grown, with the launch of the MSc Financial Technology course last autumn.

This September, a number of new postgraduate courses are launching, while the new four-year Master of Pharmacy course, also launching this autumn, includes an integrated Master’s.

The University has continued to strengthen its international offering, expanding both its global reach and student opportunities. International recruitment has grown significantly, moving from a small base of three target countries to a worldwide approach, with 17 key focus countries alongside broader global demand.

Alongside this growth, there has been a continued emphasis on supporting international students throughout their journey and into their chosen careers.
