Life Sciences students from the University of Dundee who have achieved excellence in their academic studies will have their success marked at a prize-giving ceremony later this week.
A total of 62 students will be congratulated for their hard work and determination and be presented with prizes at the College of Life Sciences Student Awards event on Friday, 11th November. This annual event celebrates the achievements of outstanding students from the last academic year.
Leading the way, with six awards is 21-year-old Egle Gaurilcikaite. Egle, originally from Lithuania, has just entered her 3rd year of the Biomedical Sciences degree and won an Armistead Bursary and the Ede & Ravenscroft Prize along with four awards for achievements in individual modules.
The other top prize winner is Hanna Juchniewicz (22) from Poland. She has just entered the final year of her Sports Biomedical degree and won a total of five prizes including an Armitstead Bursary, the Roger Booth Prize and three module awards.
Professor David Coates, Dean of Learning & Teaching congratulated all prize-winners on their achievements.
'This is an important evening for the College of Life Sciences because it is vital that we celebrate the successes of our students. Seeing these high-achieving students receiving their award will, I’m sure, act as an inspiration to their peers by showing them what is possible.
'Every year it is a humbling experience to be involved in this event. It is a pleasure to help teach such able and committed students. These young people represent all our futures, and we are justly proud of them.'
The prize-giving ceremony takes place at the University’s Dalhousie Building at 5pm on Friday, 11th November.
