Academic staff look for students who displayed particular creativity in their work whilst on the MA programme to nominate for the scholarship. This is therefore a retrospective award for those who have completed their course.
• As such, if you would like to be considered and have a particular piece of work you feel would support your case, please make this known to your former tutor. The successful student will be notified in October/November and invited to an Autumn Dinner hosted by the School at which you will be able to thank OpinionPanel's Managing Director in person.
