The TARGETjobs Undergraduate of the Year is an annual awards competition which aims to find the best undergraduates in the UK.
Each award is partnered by a prominent graduate recruiter who provides a fantastic prize for the winner, including a paid internship, trips abroad and other exclusive opportunities.
The awards look for candidates who are able to combine academic excellence, the ability to pass a series of difficult online assessments, as well as good written communication and interpersonal skills.

Are you the next Undergraduate of the Year?
Over the last few years we have had a number of University of Liverpool students make it to the final shortlist in different categories, but have not had a winner yet – it would be great if we could make 2022 our year!
