Looking back, moving forward: Applying for next year’s Award modules
This year has been filled with some huge successes! Not only did The University of Nottingham become the most targeted university by The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers, but our survey showed that 100% of students who have completed the Nottingham Advantage Award would recommend it to others.
Our Celebration Event this year was one of our best. It reached maximum capacity, with over 140 students and VIPs attending. The Career-focused eMentoring Scheme was voted as the Module of the Year, and 14 of our highest calibre Award students won prizes or were highly commended by some of the UK’s top employers!
We are very proud to announce that a total of 2740 students are currently taking part in the Nottingham Advantage Award, and over 220 completed it this year! Every year more and more students get involved with modules on the Award. We often hear success stories from our alumni that really show how the Award can boost your job prospects.
Over at the Nottingham Advantage Award headquarters we have been busy organising new modules and we have just had confirmation that there will be a whopping 214 to choose from next year! Workspace is currently being updated with information about next year’s modules and we expect to have most modules updated by the second week of August 2014.
