One of the students from the School, Jonathan said, "I am so thrilled and proud to have received this award. My first year at university wasn’t always easy but thanks to my academics and the wider Loughborough University community I was able to achieve a great set of results as well as settle right into university life. To be recognised for my academic achievement has made me feel so positive about what the future holds!"
Professor Rachel Thomson commented, “I am very proud of the achievements of all of Loughborough’s students and believe that it is important to take time to celebrate their successes. These Academic Excellence awards recognise the achievements of our undergraduate students in their studies."
Congratulations to Geraint, Jonathan, PJ, Tomisin and all of the inspiring winners from Schools across the University.
