On receipt of their award, students said;
“I feel really thrilled to have been recognised for work that I put a lot of time and my own ideas into. Given the high quality of the discussions in our tutorials I’m honoured to have secured the highest mark in the year. It’s a really great feeling to have your lecturers who have guided your studies recognise the standard of work you have produced. Recognition must go to my tutor, Dr Yvette Russell, who discussed ideas with us and helped me to source various materials.”
Ellen Dixon
“I was shocked when I found out I was to receive the award for Best Student in Contract Law; all the students in the Law School are so hardworking and engaged. I am extremely proud of my achievement, and I am immensely grateful to my lecturers and my wonderful contract law tutor, for making me appreciate the broad principles and societal implications of the law of contract.”
Maggie Sawant
“I was so unbelievably proud to have received this award, especially because crime is the field of work I hope to go into when I have completed my degree. This award looks brilliant on my CV and should hopefully set me up to obtain some great work experience in the criminal field. “
Megan Hicks
“I was delighted to receive this award, and somewhat shocked! Throughout the year, I found the Tort module particularly engaging, especially when logically working through fictional ‘Problem Questions’ to advise a client. It gives me great confidence to know that the hard work throughout the year pays off, and that I can take this into my second and third year here at Bristol. “
Samuel Jewell
“I am really happy and, quite frankly, pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed Constitutional Rights and spent some thinking about the many concepts and principles taught to us. I am incredibly thankful to Guildhall Chambers and the University of Bristol for putting together the award and the ceremony! Well done to my peers for their incredible achievements!”
Sherard Siahaan
The Law School would like to congratulate all award winners this year.
