The School of Business, Retail and Financial Services at the University’s Coleraine campus has teamed up with local organisations to sponsor a number of Top Student Awards. 

The aim of the partnership is to develop and strengthen relationships with key employers who could benefit from the knowledge and expertise of UU’s business graduates as well as providing vital support to students throughout their studies. 

Sponsors include: INVISTA Textiles UK (Ltd), First Trust Bank, Radisson Roe Park and Irwin Donaghey and Stockman Chartered Accountants.

Sponsorship Programme Co-ordinator, Dr Norry Mc Bride said: “The sponsorship awards will further harness relationships between the University and local organisations, but the real winners will be the students who will have highly credible awards under their belts, a big advantage for when they enter the labour market for the first time.” 

Pat Carroll, Site Manager of INVISTA's Maydown LYCRA® plant added: “INVISTA is pleased to support UU’s Top Student Awards as it gives us a chance to recognize excellence.  INVISTA applauds initiatives that reward students with opportunities that increase their chances of success.”
