Head of the Department of Law, Professor Valsamis Mitsilegas said: "Congratulations to all our graduating students and thank you all for your valuable contribution to Queen Mary. We hope that you will stay in touch with the School of Law and continue to be an active part of our community."

Prizes are awarded to first, second and final year undergraduate students in recognition of academic performance, with final year students receiving their prizes at the graduation ceremony. 20 prizes were awarded this year, with sponsored prizes from law firms Dechert, Old Square Chambers and Herbert Smith Freehills.

Shannon Diggory was awarded three prizes, including the Roger Crane prize for academic performance and contribution to the life of the School. Shannon was active in Queen Mary's Legal Advice Centre, where she supervised advice sessions and contributed to a commercial awareness bulletin.
