Celebrating the achievements of our students

The Faculty of Business and Law (FBL) Prize Ceremony has always been a joyful occasion where our students, industry partners and staff are able to come together, network and celebrate. 

Sadly, the Ceremony is another casualty of the global pandemic and lockdown. 

Nonetheless, it is important to acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding academic achievements of our top FBL students for 2019.

We are deeply grateful for the unrelenting support of our industry partners and donors, who make this possible notwithstanding the repercussions of the pandemic. 

Congratulations to our talented students for your achievements! These prizes are acknowledgement of your hard work and effective learning skills, which will give an edge to your CVs and career progression.

We hope that this is an interim measure only and we can welcome everyone back for the FBL Prize Ceremony event in 2021.

Please stay safe and I wish you and your loved ones the very best.

Pro Vice-Chancellor, Faculty of Business and Law
