Held at Swansea University this year, the CUBO Awards are a yearly event to recognise the achievements of those working within the higher education industry in the UK and Ireland.

The project which won Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê the award for the Best Marketing Campaign category was the development of a single brand in conjunction with students focused on the student experience across key touch points. It helped build a sense of community across 21 disparate halls and student satisfaction soared to a record level as a result.

The Innovation in Student Experience award went to the Housingadvice.london website developed by Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê students for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê students. Working in partnership with the Accommodation team, the website offers advice and professional guidance to first year students about to leave halls for private sector accommodation. It reached over half of first year Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê residents as unique visitors and around one third came back for more information.
