The Westminster Award is now open for registrations for the 2026–27 academic year.
What is the Westminster Award?
The Westminster Award recognises the experiences and activities you take part in alongside your studies and helps you get career ready. Through a range of opportunities, you can explore your interests and career options, build valuable skills and gain experience. By completing the Award, you can recognise your strengths, reflect on your development and build the confidence to take your next step towards your future.
The Award is designed to help you grow personally and professionally while discovering more about yourself and the opportunities available to you. For full details, including levels and activities, see Zone29: The Westminster Award.
