Seventy institutions go to the final phase of this year鈥檚 judging.听听
THE editor John Gill said:听
鈥淣ineteen years on from their launch, I鈥檓 delighted to say that the enthusiasm for the THE Awards continues to grow. This year saw yet another record number of entries, but maybe more importantly, we also have more institutions represented on the shortlists than ever before 鈥 a clear indicator of the great strength in depth of UK and Irish higher education.听
鈥淎cross 19 categories, you will find not only some long-established big names, but also younger, aspirational institutions, those with a community-centred civic vision, and others with a much more specialist focus 鈥 all of whom deserve wider recognition for their brilliant work.听
鈥淥ur awards are inclusive by design, and while THE has learned countless things over the past 52 years covering the sector, right up there is the fact that innovative and inspirational ideas can originate at any institution, whatever its shape, size or reputation.听听
鈥淲e鈥檙e incredibly proud to host this biggest celebration of the sector, and particularly excited this year by the prospect of taking the final ceremony on the road for the first time.鈥听
