Welcome to the Education Awards

Recognising excellence in the third level education sector in Ireland.

Launched in 2017, the Education Awards is the long-standing platform for recognising, encouraging and celebrating excellence in the third-level education sector in Ireland from both State and privately funded institutions.

​

After a hugely successful 2020 event, we are delighted to announce the launch of the 2021 Education Awards.​

​

New Event Date & Deadline for Entries

​

Due to both the ongoing interest around this year’s Education Awards, and the continuous dragging effect caused by the pandemic, we are extending the deadline again for entry submissions to give everybody a chance to enter the awards.

​

New Deadline: Tuesday 16th February before 5:30pm.

​

We also have a new date for the awards: Thursday 20th May 2021.

​

This year's awards is set be another unmissable occasion.​

​

Since the last ceremony much has changed due to the pandemic and so we have adjusted our event format to reflect the times we are in.​

​

New Hybrid Event Format​

​

The 2021 awards will be delivered as a Hybrid Event where we will have a selection of entrants in a live forum event plus a wonderfully interactive and immersive online broadcast of the event.​

​

We have lots of innovations and new features to reveal in the coming weeks. Watch this space!

​

In the meantime, we invite you to take part in this celebration by entering one of our award categories today!

​

Wide Range of Categories

​

The award categories are designed to highlight the key areas that impact upon student performance and provide opportunities for educational institutions, their employees and contributors to have their achievements recognised across the various important facets of their operations.

​

We have updated our category criteria to reflect the times we are in and we have introduced three new award categories: Best MBA Programme, COVID Crisis Response Award, and International Engagement Award.

​

As ever the awards are completely free to enter.
