The Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCA) 2023 stands out as the only Higher Education awards ceremony in the UK that exclusively relies on student evaluations to assess and appraise institutions across a diverse range of categories. AHZ Associates is delighted to congratulate the finalists and winners of the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2023.

This year, the organisation received an overwhelming number of nominations and votes from students across the UK. It was a truly grateful experience for all the students who took the time to share their experiences and feedback.

This annual event acknowledges the academic community and appreciates the dedication of UK universities to providing outstanding educational opportunities for their students. Ellie Taylor, a well-known comedian, actor, and author, will be the evening’s host and main attraction. The approach of the WUSCA review collection means that shortlisted institutions are uniquely recognised by students for delivering exceptional experiences.
