The Bristol PLuS Awards

The Bristol PLuS Awards recognise and reward University of Bristol students who have gained significant professional and life skills through extra-curricular experiences, which are important now more than ever in the current graduate labour market.

  • Reflect on the skills you have gained
  • Be prepared for the interview process
  • Valued by graduate recruiters


***IMPORTANT NOTICE***


The 2012/13 PLuS Award deadline is 17th May. Once this date has passed the Bristol PLuS Awards will be moving to a new computer system.

This means that if you haven't completed the award by the 17th May then you will need to re-register for the PLuS Award in October and input your PLuS Award evidence into the new system.

If you have started the award but are not able to finish by 17th May then you will be able to complete the award next year. We recommend that you log in to the current PLuS Award system and make a note of any evidence that you have inputted - from 17th May you will not be able to access this information.

We encourage any students who are near to completion to try their best to finish the award this year. Come along to the Bristol PLuS Awards: Deadline Looming session on the 19th April to find out how. Sign up

Please note that there are less events taking place at the Careers Service during the summer term compared to autumn and spring, therefore if you still need to attend some workshops then please sign up ASAP to avoid running out of time.
