Each year, The Society recognises the academic achievement of undergraduates in physiology by awarding prizes to students with the best final year project or overall performance at their university. In doing so, we aim to encourage their continued engagement in physiology and develop their contacts with other researchers in the field.
In 2012, 42 students across the UK and abroad were awarded with the Undergraduate Prize for Physiology, which bestows £100, a certificate of achievement and eligibility to apply for one year’s free membership at The Society – providing access to all the benefits that membership offers.
Undergraduate Prize winner, Kseniia Afitska of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev, Ukraine, said: “It was a great surprise to win. I am very happy and proud. And, importantly to me, my research supervisor can be proud of me. Winning the prize opens new possibilities in my studies. I’m over the moon.”
A full list of the winners can be found here, along with more information about the prize scheme. A call for nominations for the 2013 prize will open again later this year.
We would like to congratulate all the winners on their outstanding work during their degree and wish them every success in the future.
