Student & Alumni Prizes

Each year, Wrexham University recognises the achievements of its students through a series of prizes.

Prizes reflect exceptional work from foundation degree to PhD level across the full range of the university's academic portfolio.

Wrexham University also recognises the achievements of our Alumni with two special prizes, awarded to former students.

Some prizes carry a monetary value, and all reflect Wrexham University's commitment to recognising hard work and high levels of achievement among our students.

See our 2024/25 Student Prizes here.  

Please note these prizes were correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.
