Celebrating the impact of UK alumni in Malaysia and beyond

The Study UK Alumni Awards is the British Council’s flagship global awards programme recognising the outstanding achievements of UK alumni worldwide. Each year, the Awards celebrate graduates of UK universities who are creating positive change in their professions, communities, and industries — demonstrating how a UK education empowers individuals to shape a better future.

In Malaysia, the Alumni Awards highlight individuals who have translated UK-shaped knowledge, values, and leadership into meaningful impact across science, sustainability, culture, creativity, sport, business, innovation, and social action.

The national judging process

Our award finalists were selected through a rigorous judging process involving independent screening, detailed evaluation, and in-depth panel deliberations. Each application was assessed against strict global criteria, ensuring fairness, integrity, and international benchmarking.

This year's finalists were shortlisted by industry leaders, senior academics, and subject-matter experts — reflecting the credibility and prestige of the awards. These panels represent some of Malaysia's most respected voices in policy, arts, sustainability, education, business, and social impact.

The Study UK Alumni Awards Malaysia 2026 recognises outstanding UK alumni who are driving change in their professions, communities, and the country.
