Being an alumnus of a university abroad is certainly an honor. However, making a real contribution to Indonesia is more important and priding. Based on this understanding, the British Council is holding the Study UK Alumni Awards again. At the Fairmont Hotel in Jakarta on Wednesday (7/3/2024), the biennial awards event was held as a recognition of Indonesian student alumni in the UK who have had a positive impact on Indonesia. The Study UK Alumni Awards have 4 winners from 4 categories, namely Science & Sustainability, Culture & Creativity, Social Action as well as Business & Innovation

The winners and finalists of the Study UK Alumni Awards went through a quite long selection stage. The British Council opened this competition to the public. So, all Study UK alumni can register. Then, every alumnus who registers will be selected by the British Council and then evaluated in stages. The following are the names of the winners of the 2024 Study UK Alumni Awards: the Science & Sustainability Category was won by Wulan Koagouw, the Culture & Creativity Category was won by Denny Rasyid Priyatna, the Social Action Category was won by Tara Subba, and the Business & Innovation Category was won by Redita Aliyah Utomo. The British Council gave appreciation in the form of cash of GBP 2,000 (around Rp. 40 million) to each winner. The prize is awarded to support their professional development through courses, conferences and exhibitions.

The 2024 Study UK Alumni Award aims to continue to strengthen the interest of students from Indonesia to study in the UK. In addition, this event also marks the 75th anniversary of UK-Indonesia diplomatic relations, and it is a form of ongoing commitment supported by the UK government's seriousness in providing a platform that can introduce UK university alumni from Indonesia to the international stage.
