Student of the year

Student radiographer of the year

The Society and College of Radiographers offer our approved higher education institutions the chance to recognise their outstanding students in the annual student of the year awards.

The aim of the awards is to honour an undergraduate therapeutic student and a diagnostic student who exemplify the best of the profession’s values, as well as highlighting the students’ accomplishments whilst in a formal educational setting. This includes excellent academic and clinical achievement, together with outstanding contribution as an individual to student life and/or the university 

The winners receive a prize of £250, a FuJi camera and a certificate commemorating the award. One of the highlights is the presentation of the awards, which take place at the House of Commons before an invited audience of the ́great and the good ́ of radiography, plus members of parliament and a high profile guest who presents the awards. 

A student may be nominated for the Student of the Year award by their course team, clinical placement staff, or peers. However, all nominations must be made through the student’s higher education institution, with additional endorsement by clinical placement deemed vital. 

Applications should be submitted in the summer, when the awards are announced and the application forms are made available, in time for the presentation of the award in November.
