Kirklees firms have been urged to showcase their achievements in the postgraduate arena – with the second annual Prospects Postgraduate Awards.

This year, there are 10 categories, including the Best Business Partner Award that recognises successful collaborations between employers and universities to ensure postgraduate courses meet the needs of the business community.

Local media, digital and marketing agencies will also be able to demonstrate their work with universities with awards spanning Best Prospectus and Best Website, Best International Campaign, Best University Campaign, Best Faculty Campaign and Best Agency.

There are also two new awards, for Best Careers and Employability Team and Outstanding Contribution, which recognises an individual that has made a significant and outstanding contribution to postgraduate education.

Entries are open until Friday, September 5, 2014. The winners will be announced at a glittering ceremony in November.

Entry is online and more information can be found at www.postgraduateawards.co.uk .

The Awards are run by Graduate Prospects, the UK’s leading postgraduate education publisher.

Mike Hill, chief executive at Graduate Prospects, said: “Anyone who has an impact on postgraduate education in the UK is recognised in these awards – from the businesses forging ties with their local institutions and the media and marketing agencies that drive the campaigns to the universities themselves who are wholeheartedly and creatively attracting postgraduate talent.

“That’s why we have introduced a category specifically for careers services this year – to reward those who facilitate work-related learning opportunities for postgraduates.

“Last year we were impressed by the originality and innovation demonstrated across the UK and we look forward to welcoming this year’s entrants.”
