Every year, at the Graduation ceremony, Halmstad University reward a former student with the award Alumnus/Alumna of the Year.

By handing out the award Alumnus/Alumna of the Year, Halmstad University promotes former students that have excelled in different ways after their graduation and that are positive role models for both the University, its students and for the surrounding community. Everyone with a connection to the University can nominate candidates for the award.
