Representatives from each institution have worked in partnership with Yorkshire Universities to create the Awards, with the aim of maximising their collective impact of student engagement.

The Awards will shine a spotlight on examples of student tenacity at its best, championing those who have not only studied, but thrived in the higher education environment.

Culminating in an exclusive awards evening, The Specialist Institution Awards aim to give the deserved recognition to otherwise unsung, standout students from across these Leeds-based, small and specialist institutions.
