\"congregation\"<\/a>The School of Biosciences is delighted to report the outstanding achievement of our graduating class. After a furiously intense\u00a0period of\u00a0revision, examinations, marking, cataloguing and mark input and verification, the\u00a0final year\u00a0Examination Board took place this week,\u00a0attended by academic staff and our two external examiners. Students from the Class of 2014 achieved a record level of achievement for the School, with three-quarters of our students being awarded Upper Second Class Honours or above, as well as a record number\u00a0being awarded First Class. Our external examiners were impressed by the very high quality of work that our students had submitted in examinations, the wide range of final year projects provided, and the variety of continuous assessments that provide transferable skills\u00a0for future employability.<\/p>\n

This is a real achevement for all concerned – a reflection of the high quality and commitment of our students, and of the\u00a0the staff who have taught them and supported them over the last 3 or 4 years. Many congratualtion to all – we will be celebrating with you at the graduation ceremony next month!<\/p>\n
