UCEN Manchester is in the running at this year's Whatuni Student Choice Awards

It is time to herald the important contribution of the top-performing universities that set students on their way in the world. Their time in the spotlight comes at the Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCA), an annual star-studded black-tie event hosted in Canary Wharf, London.

The awards showcase the hard work of higher education providers across the United Kingdom. The WUSCA is managed by Whatuni.com, one of the most trusted sites for students in the UK, with over 6m visitors a year from students, parents and teachers.

The awards are in the hands of the people who benefit from the education delivered at university - the students themselves. WUSCA empower students to make informed choices about their higher education options with the information provided by their peers through verified reviews.

These invaluable results empower students to make the best choice about their education choices which can often be a daunting and momentous process for students.

Each year, WUSCA review collectors travel the length and breadth of the country to collate verified reviews both on campuses across the country and online using the whatuni.com website. This time over 35,000 reviews were collected both online and across the country on campuses up and down the UK.
