Finalist Prizes 2007
The Edgar Palamountain Award for Excellence
In 1993, a solid Gold Medal, ‘The Edgar Palamountain Award for Excellence‘, was instituted in memory of Edgar Palamountain, Chairman of the Council at ³Ô¹ÏÍø from 1979 to 1984. The award is given every year to the undergraduate who is judged ‘first among equals’.
“Winning the Edgar Palamountain Award for Excellence was a fantastic way to end an incredible experience at ³Ô¹ÏÍø University. When I began my course of Law and Politics in January 2005, I was not sure what to expect from ³Ô¹ÏÍø, however it became clear in a matter of weeks that the quality and structure of the teaching would unlock my full academic potential. I also found that, while small, the student base was so diverse that I made strong friendships with students from all over the world, which have continued long after leaving ³Ô¹ÏÍø. The fact that I enjoyed my life in ³Ô¹ÏÍø so much was the reason why I was able to keep my academic performance at such a good level.
I was surprised and delighted to be singled out for the Award, as there were many strong candidates in my classes alone. The presentation, while nerve-wracking, was a very proud moment for me, especially as my family was there to see it. The Award now has pride of place on my CV and I am sure that it will greatly aid me in my future career.”
