Outstanding Achievement
The Department of Mathematics of Imperial College London strives to provide an academically stimulating and challenging programme where our students can gain great mathematical understanding and analytics skills. The Undergraduate Prizes are designed to recognise students who have performed exceedingly well in their studies in the previous academic year, allowing us to celebrate some of the many outstanding students in the Department.
Prize winners are congratulated on their hard work, their attention to their studies and commitment to Imperial.
A number of prizes are sponsored by alumni or companies; the Department thanks all donors for their generosity and support of the mathematics student body. Their recognition of the mathematics students and the work of the College is greatly appreciated, joining the Department in creating a larger network of support for students and alumni around the world. The Department welcomes new sponsorships and interested persons should contact the College Development Team or the Mathematics Undergraduate Office.
