The University of Suffolk has scooped three awards at the prestigious WhatUni Student Choice Awards 2025, including the top accolade of being named University of the Year.

The awards, known as WUSCAs, are based on student feedback, reviews and recommendations, with the University being shortlisted for seven categories this year.
 
At an event in London on Wednesday night, the University of Suffolk won a trio of awards – University of the Year, Lecturers and Teaching Quality, and Student Support.
 
Suffolk also scooped three silver awards for Facilities, International and Postgraduate, and was shortlisted in the Students’ Union category for 2025.
 
Professor Jenny Higham, Vice-Chancellor at the University of Suffolk, said: “These awards are fantastic recognition for the University’ commitment to providing a high-quality experience, and I would like to thank the students whose generous feedback has helped make this happen.
 
“It is wonderful to see that our students value their teaching and support services so highly, and that is testimony to all our staff and our Students’ Union who work tirelessly to help them to succeed.” 
 
This year’s prizes followed a successful awards last year, when the University won the submission-based award for Career Coaching and Work Placements, and second spot in the Career prospects category.
