We’re delighted to be able to expand our Awards programme from the UK & Ireland into Europe for the first time this year. Despite increasing efforts to attract and retain the brightest international students, most European universities remain stubbornly ‘hands off’ about actually housing them. As a result it falls largely to the private sector working with local government to fill the gaps. These Awards are therefore vital to recognise excellence and further encourage the investment needed to deliver the safe and vibrant communities that students deserve.
