These awards celebrate 28 undergraduate Department prizes, 2 postgraduate Department prizes, 3 Foundation Scholars, and 10 Gold Medallists. 

This ceremony was initiated by the School’s Global Relations Team, as a school congress to honour student prize winners and benefactors. This is the first time that we have consolidated our prize conferring process to appropriately recognise the winners with their guests in one event. The primary purpose of this event was to recognise and celebrate the exceptional achievements and contributions of our students in their respective programmes and fields of study. The secondary purposes of this event was to honour the benefactors of the prizes, engage with alumni and potential donors, and raise the profile of the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy and the College/TDA.
