Dear All,



Nominations are sought for the Fred Stern Prize, the Department's prestigious prize for a PhD student who has demonstrated performance of exceptionally high quality.



Candidates should have had their PhD viva in the calendar year 2015.



The nominator will normally be the supervisor and/or external examiner, but any member of staff can submit a nomination. Nominations will be assessed by the Head of Department and the Postgraduate Tutor, taking advice as appropriate.



A nomination should include a brief supporting statement which may include e.g.



- comments from the external examiner report (copies are held in the student record - ask Audrey if you want to see these)

- publications arising from the thesis/project

- prizes/awards or other external recognition of quality associated with the thesis/project



Nominations should be submitted to me by Friday 20th May 2016.

Best wishes,
Neil
