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

Stage Two:
Complete four online tests designed exclusively by our partners SHL, Ethe world’s leading assessment provider. The online assessment will take you around 90 minutes to complete and around 50 candidates will pass through to the next stage. The closing date for entry is 31 January 2012.

Stage Three:
The sponsor will seek to find a shortlist of ten from the undergraduates who pass the first two stages. 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 13 April where the winner will be announced.
