GCU celebrates outstanding students at recent SCEBE Celebration & Prizegiving 2022
GCU has recently held their annual School of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment’s Celebration & Prizegiving 2021/22 ceremony – an opportunity to celebrate our fantastic students and industry links.
The event, which was held online this year due to the ongoing pandemic, invited guests to celebrate the strong collaboration between our courses and professional bodies by recognising the outstanding achievements of our students.
The annual event was supported by national, international and global businesses which provided sponsorship for the awards on the night. Awards were presented for a number of categories in different subject areas, such as Best Performing 3rd Year Student, Best Project Award, Student Building Engineering Award and many more.
We spoke to 3rd year Computer Games (Art & Animation) student Johanna Otto, who proudly accepted the award for Best Performing 3rd Year student for her programme. She said: “I really did not expect to be selected for the award and quite frankly, I was brought to tears when I found out. The last year had been incredibly challenging for me on an academic and personal level.
Seeing that my hard work paid off gave me a boost of confidence in my own abilities and for my last year at GCU.”
3rd year Audio Technology student Paul Hawthorne was delighted to have received the award for Best Performing student on his programme, and is glad to see that the hard work of students has been recognised in such a challenging time. He said: “It’s a great honour and I am proud to have been nominated for this award.
The last couple years has presented challenges for both students and staff and it’s a great reminder that all the hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed, especially during these difficult times.”
