Three top performing MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering students from the University’s Malaysia Campus (USMC) have each been awarded prestigious Lloyd’s Register Foundation (LRF) scholarships.
USMC students spend two years studying at our Malaysia Campus and their final two years studying at our Southampton campuses.
Tim Kent, Technical Director (Marine) from Lloyd’s Register joined Professor Paul Lewin, Head of Electronics and Computer Science, to present scholarships to the fourth year students Yiqian Hui, Aaron Pang and Wen Yee Tey.
The students were honoured following their excellent academic and personal performance during the previous academic year. The scholarships cover each student’s tuition fees for the coming year.
Not only have the three students been awarded with scholarships this year, they also received scholarships last year, which shows true hard work and dedication.
Professor Tim Kent, a University of Southampton alumnus, congratulated the students on their scholarships and focused on the close relationship that Lloyd’s Register has with the University.
Professor Lewin commented:
It is fantastic to present these awards from Lloyd’s Register Foundation and it’s a clear mark of the students’ hard work and success.
He stressed the importance of the University’s relationship with Lloyd’s Register, adding:
We really are very keen that we work closely with Lloyd’s Register Foundation going forward.
The University has enjoyed a close working relationship with Lloyd’s Register for over 40 years. This connection was reinforced by the formal opening of the new Boldrewood Innovation Campus in Southampton in 2015 where Lloyd’s Register has established a Global Technology Centre alongside the University’s world-class engineering facilities.
