Discover more about how the Stellify Award works, what activities could count towards it, and how you can achieve yours.
The award gives you the chance to make a difference in a way that feels authentic to you. Through volunteering, leadership roles, UCIL Short Courses and a final reflection piece, you’ll take action to help causes you truly care about, entering the world of work feeling confident in your abilities.
From becoming a Student Representative or Sustainability Champion, through to involvement with societies, sports teams, volunteering and more, there are lots of activities to choose from that will help you progress towards earning the award - all designed to fit around your postgraduate studies and personal interests.
To achieve the award students complete the following:
Please note that the majority of Champions for Change roles commence recruitment in early Semester 1 and take place throughout the academic year. There are minimal opportunities to take up a Champions for Change role in Semester 2.
You are responsible for ensuring the activities you undertake are recorded - information on how to do so can be found via the links to each component below.
The deadline for recording all completed activities is 30 September of your graduating year.
Students who complete the three components - Understand the Issues that Matter, Make a Difference and Champions for Change - will achieve the Stellify Award and will receive a certificate at graduation.
The award also requires you to submit a final reflection piece at the end of your journey, which considers the activities you have completed, the skills you've gained and your perception of your place in the world.
The Stellify Award is open to both new postgraduate taught students and those continuing after their undergraduate studies. Upon completion of the award, you'll receive a certificate at your graduation ceremony.
