Undergraduate of the Year Awards — UoB students wanted

12th Jan 2010

The Uni­ver­sity of Birm­ing­ham has been spe­cially selected by key grad­u­ate recruiters in an excit­ing new search to find the Under­grad­u­ates of the Year. The Under­grad­u­ate of the Year Awards, cre­ated by TAR­GETjobs, are spon­sored by The NHS, Ernst & Young, npower, Mor­gan Stan­ley, Laing O’Rourke, Thales, Mayer Brown and KPMG who aim to iden­tify out­stand­ing penultimate-year under­grad­u­ates amongst the UK’s top uni­ver­si­ties. In the cur­rent eco­nomic cli­mate, it is espe­cially impor­tant to expose stu­dents to more employ­ers and those lucky enough to be short­listed will be nation­ally recog­nised and mas­sively employable.

This year, there are cat­e­gories to find the best under­grad­u­ates study­ing law, business/finance, systems/electronics, IT/computer sci­ence, engi­neer­ing, civil engineering/built envi­ron­ment and accountancy/economics. There is also a spe­cial award to iden­tify the best first year stu­dent study­ing any degree sub­ject. The win­ners’ prizes are fan­tas­tic and include cash, intern­ships and all-expenses paid trips to New York, Aus­tralia and con­ti­nen­tal Europe and the final ten in each Award will be invited to the Under­grad­u­ate of the Year Awards in Canary Wharf Lon­don on 16 April, 2010 where the win­ners will be announced to national press coverage.
