Businesses, careers services and universities have more time to enter this year’s Prospects Postgraduate Awards as the application deadline is extended by a week to Friday 12 September 2014.
The Prospects Postgraduate Awards are the only annual accolades in the UK solely dedicated to celebrating excellence and innovation in the postgraduate arena. Entries are invited from businesses collaborating with their local institutions, and media and marketing agencies that develop student recruitment campaigns as well as university marketing teams.
This is the second year that the awards have run and a new category has been introduced to recognise the role careers services play in postgraduate education - ‘Best Careers and Employability Team’.
Entries can be made online at www.postgraduateawards.co.uk. Winners will be announced at a gala lunch in November at The Midland Hotel, Manchester. Updates can be found on Twitter @postgradawards.
Mike Hill, chief executive at Graduate Prospects, which runs the awards, said: “The Prospects Postgraduate Awards offer a unique opportunity to show off the work you do in postgraduate education. As well as recognising the universities and campaigns that drive students to embark on postgraduate study, we reward businesses that work with institutions to ensure courses meet the needs of commerce.
“We know there will always be people preparing entries at the last minute, so we hope to relieve some of the pressure by giving them an extra week to apply.”
