SET award goes to UCL chemist
Vijay Chudasama, University College London, picks up best chemistry student prize at the 2008 Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) Student of the Year Awards.
In September Vijay Chudasama, first-class honours graduate from University College London (UCL), claimed the 3M award for the Best Chemistry Student at the 2008 Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) Student of the Year Awards. Chudasama collected his award at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London as part of a prizewinners' ceremony attended by over 500 students, academics and industrialists.
Now in their 11th year, the SET awards are designed to raise the profile of SET subjects in the UK. Awards in 15 SET subjects are judged by members of professional SET bodies and supported by global SET-based companies. The competition recognises the achievements of SET undergraduates in their final-year research project. Students are initially assessed on the basis of a written report and a citation from their research supervisor. On the day of the ceremony a judging panel for each award interviews three short-listed finalists and selects a winner.
