The application process has been designed to equip students with insights into the recruitment procedures they are likely to be presented with following graduation.

I would most definitely encourage as many people as possible to apply for this award. I believe I have grown so much from when I first applied and truly consider this a victory in itself. Overall, the application process was extremely challenging, but also such a great learning experience!â€
