Prizes

Undergraduate prizes

At the June undergraduate subject examination board, the School recommends a number of undergraduate student prizes in the following categories:

· university prizes

· school prizes

· distinctions in spoken language

University prizes

The university allocates the School a set number of university prizes each year worth £100 each. One such prize will be awarded each year to the finalist student ranked highest by classification mark in each of the six disciplines reporting to the undergraduate SEB: Comparative Literature, Drama, English, Film Studies, Linguistics and Modern Languages. In the event that more than six university prizes are allocated to the School, any remaining prize(s) allocated will go to the next highest-ranked finalist(s) irrespective of discipline.

A number of School prizes worth £100 each will also be awarded each year as follows, some of which are externally funded, others by the School:
