targetjobs Undergraduate of the Year
The targetjobs Undergraduate of the Year Awards is an annual competition aimed at finding the best undergraduates in the UK. Being the best means combining academic excellence and the ability to pass a series of challenging online assessments with good written communication skills and the interpersonal skills to stand out among their peers in assessment centres. The final shortlist of ten students for each award are invited to a glitzy ceremony in April, during which the winners are announced.
Each award is partnered by a prominent employer who provides a fantastic prize for the winner, which could include a paid internship, a trip abroad or other exclusive opportunities. Each award has clearly stated entry criteria, such as year of study and a minimum educational requirement. Applications are open now and close on Monday 29 January 2024.
