This year marks the third year of the NUS Scotland Awards. The ceremony, which took place on the first day of NUS Scotland Conference, brought together students from across Scotland to celebrate their successes over the year.
Robin Parker, NUS Scotland President said: “It was an honour to present the NUS Scotland Awards to the winners at the ceremony. I’m constantly inspired by the work of students and students’ associations across Scotland. The Awards are a great opportunity to take time out and to celebrate the amazing work of students in Scotland.”
