The Kingston Award is a great way to keep track of and reflect all the skills you gained while taking part in activities beyond your degree! If you are a part of a society, sports team, do volunteering, have a part time job, take part in the language scheme or simply just have a bunch of hobbies - joining the Kingston Award is a great opportunity!

The more skills you reflect on, the higher your award - so whether you're aiming for bronze, silver or gold, give it a go! When graduating, you will receive a certificate, a badge and have your award included in your HEAR (your digital transcript).

Information on how to take part can be found on the Kingston App.
