Students recognised for academic achievement
Continuing students from the School of the Arts have picked up prizes for academic achievement at a special event.
Each year, the School presents a number of awards to students who have demonstrated outstanding performance on a particular module or across their year group.
This year, 13 prizes were awarded, with the winning students invited to attend a dedicated event in the School of the Arts Library.
Dean of the School, Professor Peter Buse, commented: “I was delighted to be able to meet and congratulate in person the top-achieving students in the School of the Arts. It is the first time we have honoured students in this way, and I’m keen that we continue to do so in the future”.
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners!
