Times Higher Education Awards 2026: entries open
Entries have opened for the 22nd edition of the Times Higher Education Awards UK and Ireland.
Institutions are being invited to submit nominations across 20 categories that recognise the brilliant work that took place during the 2024‑25 academic year.
Universities wishing to enter have until 11.55pm on 8 June. The shortlist will be announced on 3 September.
The winners will be decided by a panel of expert judges and will be announced at a ceremony on 26 November.
This year’s ceremony is returning to Birmingham, where the awards were held in 2024, but it will be in a new venue, The Vox.
At the event, a new recipient will receive this year’s THE Outstanding Achievement Award, which is decided by THE’s senior team. It follows international education champion Sir Steve Smith being honoured at last year’s ceremony.
Entries can be made here, where a full list of categories and criteria is also available.
