Alumni Achievement Awards

The Alumni Achievement Awards honour and recognise alumni who achieve excellence in their field and inspire others to succeed.

We accept nominations made for someone else and self-nominations. 

The awards are open to all alumni from the University of Salford and all of our predecessor institutions. We particularly welcome nominations about female alumni and those from minoritised ethnic groups, as in the past they have been under-represented.

The call for nominations is now closed.

Keep an eye on your emails to be notified of our next call-out in 2025. You can update your contact details and mailing preferences if you do not already receive our communications.
