Union Awards

The Union Awards is our annual ceremony to celebrate all the incredible work that the UCA students and staff do! This could be fundraising for the community, leading a society or volunteering as a course rep.

The 2027 awards will be held in May and we'll add the exact dates and more details on here as soon as they're confirmed.

We look forward to celebrating the incredible work of UCA students together then!
