About the event
The Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCA) 2024 will be returning to London on Wednesday 24 April! WUSCA is the only Higher Education awards ceremony in the UK where institutions are solely judged and reviewed by students themselves across a variety of categories.
Our annual event is a celebration of the student voice and the hard work of higher education providers across the UK to deliver exceptional students experiences.
Hosted on the same day as the WUSCA, our Insight Day event will showcase detailed insights into 2023/24 Whatuni student reviews, key data trends and best practices for the UK higher education sector. The agenda and timings will be shared shortly.

Gain deep insights from your students with Review Collection
Review Collection is now underway and will run through to the end of February 2024. The student reviews, collected from institutions across the UK form the foundation of the WUSCA Awards, determining which universities are shortlisted, all driven by the student voice.
During the review cycle, the IDP Connect field team collect verified reviews submitted by current students about their higher education experience. Additionally, universities have an option to collect reviews digitally and for this year’s Review Collection, we’ve put together the playbook to drive maximum student engagement during this crucial period. It includes top tips, assets, and templates.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the student voice to be heard, gain insight into what truly matters to students, and ultimately enhance student satisfaction in the upcoming year.
