The top performing students from the University’s Malaysia Campus have each been awarded prestigious Lloyd’s Register Foundation scholarships for 2015-16.
Tim Kent, Technical Director (Marine) from Lloyd’s Register joined Professor Pandeli Temarel, Southampton’s Head of Civil, Maritime and Environmental Engineering, to present scholarships to Mechanical Engineering students Jeremy Fong, Jei See Tai and Yong Hau Kit, and to Electrical and Electronic Engineering students Wen Yee Tey, Aaron Pang and Yiqian Hui.
The students now studying in Southampton, were honoured following their excellent performance in both academic and personal aspects during the previous academic year. The scholarships cover each scholar’s tuition fees for the coming year.
Professor John McBride, Chief Executive Officer from our Malaysia Campus, said:
“We congratulate our Malaysia Campus students in receiving these scholarships for their academic and personal achievements and to our colleagues at the Lloyd’s Register Foundation for their generosity, and for recognising excellence amongst these scholars who have the aptitude and enthusiasm to maximise their potential and create the pathways to pursue their dreams.”
The University of Southampton has enjoyed a close working relationship with Lloyd’s Register for over 40 years culminating in the formal opening of the new Boldrewood Innovation Campus earlier this year where Lloyd’s Register has established its Global Technology Centre alongside the University’s world-class engineering facilities.
