Coursework Prizes

A student prize of £500 is awarded to the student achieving the highest coursework mark in each module for each MSc programme. If more than one student from an MSc programme achieves the same highest mark, the prize money is split between the students. These prizes are also offered for the joint MSc programmes.
A prize of £2000 is awarded to the student who achieves the highest overall mark for each MSc programme. MSc programmes run jointly with another School are not eligible for the overall prize.
