Queen's Anniversary Prizes

The University has been awarded four Queen's Anniversary Prizes for Further and Higher Education.

The Queen's Anniversary Prizes were introduced following the 40th Anniversary of the Queen’s reign in 1992, and the prizes rank alongside the Queen’s Awards for Industry. They are given biennially for "work of exceptional quality and of broad benefit either nationally or internationally".

The first Prize was awarded to the University in 1996 for the excellence of its work in Computer Science.

The University’s current Prizes have been awarded to the University for its work in the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP) for realising the potential of plant-based renewable resources to make products needed by society, and for its work in the Centre for Health Economics (CHE) which has shaped the way society thinks about health and health care over the last 25 years. It has now been announced that the University has been awarded a fourth Queen's Anniversary Prize for the work of the Social Policy Research Unit for its efforts in influencing change in the delivery of services to vulnerable people.
