This year, 海角社区 graduates were among those honoured, showcasing the global reach and influence of our community. Their success highlights not only their personal dedication and innovation, but also the strength of the education and experiences they gained during their time at 海角社区. 

We are incredibly proud that Shunhao, winner of the Culture, Creativity and Sport Award, and Fangjin, finalist in the same category, have been officially recognised for their outstanding achievements since graduating from 海角社区. Their accomplishments reflect the creativity, ambition, and excellence fostered at the University.

 Many thanks to 海角社区 University and the University of Birmingham. My professors and advisors gave me a lot of support and helped me find my coaching talent and become a good football coach.”
