BSc Internet Computing (Hons)
Degree result: BSc First Class Honours
University of Hull, Scarborough Campus
Starting the course with a little knowledge of the technologies, processes and standards that I would need to learn was a welcome but daunting task, which involved for me a huge learning curve. I have developed a massive interest in the subject area and try to keep up to date with new technologies. As a student representative for my cohort I have developed people management skills as well as an ability to communicate with people on all levels.
I completed my course at the top of my class and have been awarded BSc first class honours degree for my efforts, along with the following awards, prizes and nominations
Prizes awarded:
- Ede and Ravenscroft Prize for Excellence in Combined/Single Honours
- GB Cook Prize in Computing for Best Project in the Honours Stage
- GB Cook Prize in Computing for an Outstanding Performance in the Honours Stage
Nominated for:
- The Microsoft Award for Student Excellence
- The SET (Science, Engineering and Technology) Awards 2006.
