Reflecting back on the end of last term, we were thrilled to be able to host our first face to face graduation ceremonies after a 2 year hiatus.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere and energy that Graduations bring are like no other, and so it was fantastic to see so many familiar faces back on campus.<\/p>\n

Being able to partake and celebrate the achievements of our students is always a delight and we\u2019re so grateful we were able to do this in person for the class of 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n

Each year, SPEIR awards a few students on their achievements. The awards presented for the class of 2021 were as follows:<\/p>\n

Economics Graduates 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Abirah Aziz for Highest Overall Average.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Richard Kay for Highest Dissertation Grade.<\/p>\n

Politics & International Relations Graduates 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Anastasia Theocharous was awarded the Peter Campbell Prize for Outstanding Academic Achievement.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Lena Raballand was awarded the Peter Campbell Prize for Contribution to the Life of the Department.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 James Carr was awarded the Peter Campbell Prize for Contribution to the Life of the Department.<\/p>\n

Congratulations again to all our PGT students! We wish each of you all the very best of luck in your future.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
