Postgraduate prizes
Each year, in recognition of excellence in academic performance, the Department and MSc clusters award prizes to mark student achievement. These awards are highly compeitive and awarded on merit.
The awards are presented to an audience of the recipients, their guests and the Prize Sponsors on Postgraduate Awards Day. We are very grateful to all sponsors for rewarding the achievements of our students.
Postgraduate Awards Day is normally held on the first Wednesday in May of the year following completion of the course. The actual Postgraduate Awards Ceremony is held in the Royal Albert Hall.
