CIOB - Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Fund Scholarship
Graduating BSc (Hons) Construction Management student James Hood has been awarded a coveted £5,000 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Fund Scholarship from the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).
This £5,000 award is based on the merits of his final-year dissertation which explored the theme of sustainable housing, currently one of the hottest topics in the industry.
His work - which is of such a high quality that it may now be published in an industry journal - included site visits, attendance at conferences, surveys of developers and homebuyers as well as interviews with leading figures in the construction field.
With support from leading industry names we award several annual prizes to celebrate the hard work and commitment of our students:
Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) Certificate of Excellence
