Widely known as the ‘Oscars of higher education', the THE Awards were a fixture in the UK higher education calendar for 14 years, before we took this prestigious event overseas for the first time in 2019.

These awards offer a major international platform to recognise outstanding leadership and institutional performance, and celebrate the continent's higher education excellence.

The response from entrants over the past four years has far exceeded our expectations, both in terms of the number, and their wide geographical spread. It is a great privilege for us and our panel of external judges to read about your proudest achievements.

THE Awards Asia 2023, the fifth running of these awards, saw a glittering final ceremony at The Chinese University of Hong Kong on 21 June 2023 and brought attention to the brilliant work, diversity and dynamism of Asian and Middle Eastern higher education.

Watch the 2023 ceremony below in which each category's winner was announced and presented with their trophy.
