- Mr Guillaume Julien
- Mr Theophile Marcel Alain Champion
- Miss Julie Clothilde Lea Tiercelin
- Miss Zhaneta Petrova Georgieva
of the four prize winners, two were able to attend on the day
From Project Supervisor Jason Nurse –
“Zhaneta is one of the hardest working students I have ever met. She is driven, engaged and always open to feedback to improve her work. I think that she is thoroughly deserving of this prize — I know how much effort she put into her dissertation project! Well done Jani!”
From project supervisor Marek Grzes –
“Theophile is an usually bright, yet polite and modest, student who did a challenging, research-oriented masters project. His motivation and self-discipline were exemplary because he was finishing his compulsory assessments in only 10% of the time allocated for assessments. This way he could pursue his own interests and work on his MSc project in the remaining 90% of his time at the university. As a result, he managed to produce high-quality research.”
