Undeb Aber Celebrates 2025: The Sports and Societies Awards were held at the Students’ Union on Wednesday 7th of May.
These awards recognise the contribution and commitment of individual students and student groups in enhancing the Aber university experience.
This year we received over 700 nominations for Undeb Aber Celebrates & the shortlisting panel met at the start of April to work through the nominations and make some tough decisions.
We would like to congratulate everyone that was nominated as well as those winning the categories this evening.
Congratulations to all!
