“Our Chancellor’s Prize winners are a remarkable group who are the top achievers from across our academic schools. All of the winners should be immensely proud, as we are of them,” she added.
After the presentation ceremony, Professor Jarvis met each of the winners individually and discussed their courses and plans for the future.
