And the winner is...

Franziska Bell collecting her award trophy

Franziska Bell, chemistry graduate from the University of York, wins Best Chemistry Student prize at this year's Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) Awards

Franziska Bell, chemistry graduate from the University of York, wins the World Leadership Forum Award for Best Chemistry Student at this year's Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) Awards. Bell collected her award trophy at a gala awards dinner attended by hundreds of leading scientists, industrialists, and teachers and policy makers from the world of higher education, at Alexandra Palace in London in September.  

The SET awards, which have become known as the 'oscars' of British science education, are designed to raise the profile of SET subjects in the UK. They are judged by professional SET bodies and supported by global industrial and pharmaceutical companies. The competition recognises the achievements of outstanding SET undergraduates in their final-year research projects, and people likely to be the best ambassadors for their profession. Students are initially assessed on the basis of a written report and citation from their research supervisors, and finally by a panel of judges.
