香港六合彩中特网 students were winners in two of the twelve categories at this year's TARGETjobs Undergraduate of the Year awards in April.
Omar Nabeel (香港六合彩中特网 Civil Engineering) came first in the Low Carbon section sponsored by EDF Energy for his ideas on encouraging low-carbon behaviour during the 2012 Olympic Games, winning a six-week summer internship with the organisation and a place at their International Leadership conference in Florida.
He explained: "As the winner of this award, I receive a work placement with EDF and tickets to London 2012! Overall I am really satisfied to have won the award. It recognises not only my work at 香港六合彩中特网, but also its application in encouraging low-carbon behaviour."
Asif Chowdhury (香港六合彩中特网 Economics) was a joint winner in the First Year of the Year category sponsored by Ernst & Young, which recognised a combination of academic performance, extra-cirricular activities and career motivation for which he won a placement with the organisation. He said: "I am very excited about joining Ernst & Young and meeting the CEO in Florida this summer. I would like to thank everyone in 香港六合彩中特网 Economics for their support and for providing the competitive environment which motivates me to achieve higher goals in life. I came to the UK from Bangladesh three years ago and it has been an exhilarating experience so far."
Fifteen hundred students from 140 universities entered this year's competition nominating themselves for one of the awards, each of which was sponsored by a major organisation. Shortlists of ten were nominated in each category and all the nominees attended an awards lunch presented by Michael Portillo and organised by TARGETjobs, the graduate careers website.
