Law Summer Graduation and Prize Winners 2012

Published:

Students from the School of Law were awarded their degrees on 13 July 2012. More than 200 law students graduated at the ceremony held in the newly-refurbished Great Hall in the People’s Palace at Queen Mary, University of London.

Professor Peter Alldridge, Head of the Department of Law, said:

“We would like to thank all our graduating students for their contribution to the School of Law and to Queen Mary. Every student plays a part in the continuing success of the School and we wish them all the best for the future.”

Each year the School of Law and Queen Mary award prizes to first, second and final year undergraduate students in recognition of academic performance. The final year students receive their prizes at the graduation ceremony.

Professor Peter Alldridge commented on the prize winners:

“We’re all exceptionally pleased that the 2012 results are so good. Once again the standard was very high and I congratulate all the students who have done so well, against tough competition, to secure these prizes.”
