They are nominated by their University, ensuring that only the cream of the crop make it this far. This years judging panel comprised key industry professionals from companies such as Coutts, Sainsbury’s and WSP, to name a few. The Awards recognise potential at a very early stage in the education and training process and helps to establish a vital link between higher education and industry.

I know how tough the competition was so I’m thrilled that the judges chose me for one of the top prizes.”

The National Final will take place in Claridge's hotel in London on 17th September 2013.
