Whatuni Student Choice Awards:
The best UK unis of 2026, decided by students!
The Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs) are the largest annual awards in the UK where the outcome is decided exclusively by students! We collect tens of thousands of reviews from students on campus and on our website. The data from these reviews is used to pick the winners, letting the voices of current students inform the choices of future students.
All our reviews are from verified students and rank the institution on the aspects of uni life that matter to you. Whether you’re looking for a uni with great career prospects, need a uni with top facilities, or trying to find the uni with the best teaching quality, our reviews cover it.
To find out more about the different categories and the universities in each, you can check out the 2026 shortlist pages below.
