Student winners announced at the Faculty Annual Prize Giving Ceremony
Students were recognised for their achievements for the academic year 2023/24.
Students from across the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences were awarded prizes at a special ceremony in recognition for their distinguished academic performance and contribution for the academic year 2023/24.
This was made possible by the generosity of many who have worked with the Faculty. Some of these prizes arise out of legacies from alumni and former staff who seek to maintain their connection with the faculty, and to support King’s students in their endeavours.
You can find the full list of student awards and winners of both departmental and Faculty awards here. Below, you will find the winners of the Faculty Prizes and Faculty Education Awards.
Congratulations to everyone who received an award.
