We are delighted to announce that two 2023 PPE graduates have won Outstanding Student Contribution Awards (OSCAs) at this year’s graduation ceremony.

The OSCAs recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of Warwick's students. They not only excel academically, but also find the time to campaign for good causes, fundraise, start small business, and work with local charities.

Find out more about the work Bethan Smith and Kieran Barry won their OSCAs for.

PPE student Loshini attended the Y7 Summit in Japan in 2023, with support from the PPE programme. Youth under 40 from a diverse background, such as researchers, government officials, and students, convene ahead of G7 and G20 Summits and make policy recommendations by submitting the communique to G7 and G20. Y7 & Y20 Summits aim to propose solutions to various challenges faced by today’s international community by promoting mutual understanding among youth at the forefront of the world.

Loshini says: “As the UK economy delegate I aimed to target the needs of young people amidst the cost of living crisis and an increasing lack of employability. Alongside delegates from across the G7 countries we integrated these needs and also considered the importance of sustainability and working towards a circular economy."

Jacob Liebenberg is CAGE Video Competition Winner 2022! The third-year undergraduate in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, impressed the judges with his compelling story, strong visuals, voiceover and music. Congratulations Jacob!

Warwick PPE graduate Vikram Khosla received an upReach Ten award at the 2020/21 Student Social Mobility Awards.

The upReach Ten are the ten students across the whole of the UK who, in the opinion of the judges, were most likely to achieve outstanding personal or career success.

Commenting on his award, Vikram said:

“It was a complete surprise to me! I’d been shortlisted for two of the other awards which I didn’t win on the day. Then at the end they announced the upReach Ten awards and I was delighted to receive this one as it encapsulates both my volunteering and mentoring work and my commitment to doing well in my own career.”

Congratulations to Vikram!

We are delighted to announce that the PPE Staff Student Liaison Committee won ‘SSLC of the year’ at the Student Voice and Impact Awards last week.

The awards aim to recognise and celebrate students who advocate and create change for the student experience. Warwick SU praised the PPE SSLC for the work they consistently do to represent the voices of students, especially those of joint honours students, despite the additional challenges they have faced this year due to the pandemic. The Students Union recognised how incredibly hard the SSLC have worked to maintain a strong online presence, which is down to the dedicated and passionate committee.

We are incredibly proud of the SSLC and all their hard work. Congratulations to everyone involved!
