Abertay award winners

The achievements of Abertay University’s best performing students were celebrated at two prize giving ceremonies.

An array of awards were presented to students from across the schools of science, engineering and technology; social and health sciences; Dundee Business School and the School of Design and Informatics (formerly arts, media and computer games).

Ceremonies ran on both Wednesday and Thursday evening, with principal Nigel Seaton welcoming guests.

He said: “We are very proud of our students at Abertay, and these prizewinners have demonstrated outstanding success in their fields of study.

“The university is extremely fortunate in having a substantial community of friends and supporters who have donated prizes – as individuals or families, and as companies, professional bodies and public services. We value our links with the wider community.”

The honours included the CJ Lang & Son Prize, awarded to Joy Ewert in the honours year of the BA (Hons) Marketing and Business programme, who was deemed the best student overall.

The Lothian Family Awards went to Paul Sherriffs, Alberto Taiuti, Emilie Lumineau and Ursa Klobucar who made the greatest impact in each of the four schools.

The Sword Prize for Sport was awarded to Christopher Low.
