Contribution to learning and teaching

Each year in the summer term, the department runs a competition allowing students to submit a learning and teaching resource which contributes to the improved understanding and awareness of Bioengineering as an emerging field within engineering. This initiative provides students with the opportunity to engage deeply with the subject while contributing to the broader educational experience.

Submissions are evaluated based on three key criteria: engagement, technical accuracy, and clarity of presentation and are reviewed by a panel of three judges from our learning and teaching team.

The competition offers a first prize of £100, along with three runner-up prizes of £50 in vouchers.

Old Centralian's Trust

Various awards and grants administered by the Trust are traditionally available to students of the Bioengineering as one of the seven engineering departments of the former City & Guilds College.

See the City & Guilds College Association website for details.

Engineering Professors' Council Student Awards

This organisation is promoting excellence in engineering in higher education and offers prizes on a occasional basis. Watch the EPC website for more details.

Student Award for Outstanding Achievement

Each year the College calls for nominations for the Student Award for Outstanding Achievement in any extramural activity that brings credit to the College.
