Balmoral encouragement for Aberdeen Business School students
Three graduates of the Masters in Project Management programme at Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University benefited to the tune of £5000 in the form of the annual Balmoral Offshore Engineering prize.
This is the third year that the company has sponsored the prize for Aberdeen Business School students, viewing it as an important link between commerce and academia. Each student had to submit a research proposal to enter the competition.
Steve Gibb, public relations manager at Balmoral, said: “We are pleased to align ourselves with this very prestigious course at RGU. The collaboration with the students and staff at Aberdeen Business School is immensely rewarding for all parties and we wish this year’s winners every success in the future.”
Mehran Fard from Iran was awarded first prize in the competition and a cheque for £2500. His project management proposal focused on 'The Reliability of Risk Analysis Methods to Decision Making Processes in the UK Offshore Oil and Gas Projects'.
Augusta Cookeygam and Elizabeth Taama achieved second and third place in the competition and were awarded cheques for £1500 and £1000.
Senga Briggs, course leader for project management at Aberdeen Business School, added: “This award is of enormous benefit to the students and our agreement with a company as successful as Balmoral speaks volumes about the way in which Aberdeen Business School is perceived by industry.”
