How do I win it then?

It’s not easy to win the Undergraduate of the Year Award and competition will be fierce. The process is demanding and only the truly outstanding and committed will make it to the last 10. There are three stages that you’ll have to get through.

Stage One:
Submit your personal data and answer three special questions posed by the sponsor of the Award.

Stage Two:
Complete three online tests designed exclusively by our partners SHL, Europe’s leading test provider. The online assessment will take you around an hour to complete and somewhere between 30 and 50 will pass through to the next stage. The closing date for entry is January 2011.

Stage Three:
The sponsor will seek to find a shortlist of ten from the undergraduates who pass the first stage. This will be done in a variety of ways including telephone interviews, assessment centres and further tests (depending on the sponsor). The final shortlist of ten is invited to the Undergraduate of the Year Awards in Canary Wharf London on 15 April where the winner will be announced.

Please note: if you want (and are eligible) to apply for more than one award, you must register using a different email address each time.
