Create Student Awards 2025
Celebrating our students
For the last decade, the annual Create Student Awards has been the flagship end of year celebratory event for the School of Arts, Media and Creative Technology at the University of Salford. Across nine categories, the awards recognise and formally commend the incredible achievements and successes of final year and postgraduate students, plus our alumni.
This year’s celebratory evening was held at The Lowry Hotel on Thursday 12 June, hosted by comedian and University of Salford alumna Kiri Pritchard-McLean
