EDGE Excel Award Student of the Year🤩

This year, Pharmacy graduate Fatema Mohammad, has been selected by our judges as EDGE Excel Award Student of the Year.

From Global experiences to the Interprofessional Healthcare Challenge to Course Representation, Fatema took on every opportunity to develop the skills and confidence she needs to achieve future success.

The Ulster University experience is more than just a degree, and our EDGE Excel and EDGE Award graduates prove that every year by engaging in complimentary extra curricular experiences and getting deserved recognition for achievements outside of university.

Sustainable Innovation Challenge 2026✅

What an experience for our 20 Year 1 undergraduate students and 5 postgraduate students who represented Ulster University and QAHE in Manchester. Over 2 days, joining 80 other students from Liverpool, Manchester and Berlin, they developed solutions to a sustainability themed challenge set by none other than Manchester City Football Club.

Tours of the Etihad Campus, hearing from local experts on the challenge context and working with students from different subjects, year groups, countries and cultures, the students were AMAZING.

What a great experience and another achievement completed for the Ulster Graduate Award.
