Students nominated at Women in Property Awards 2023

We are delighted to extend our congratulations to DJCAD students Amy Morris from Interior and Environmental Design who was Highly Commended in the Women in Property Awards for Northern Scotland, and also to Morgan Mackintosh from Architecture and Julianne Santos from Urban Planning who were all finalists in the awards, taking place in Aberdeen this year.

The National Student Awards programme runs regionally each year, when Universities are invited to nominate their top students studying in their third year (second year in England) on a built environment degree course. The regional nominees are interviewed by a regional judging panel, when the candidates are questioned about a piece of coursework, as well as assessing their personal skills, professional potential, and understanding of the industry.

Over the past 17 years over 1,500 students have been through the Awards programme, which explores their course work, challenges their wider industry knowledge and encourages them to hone and develop their interpersonal skills. 2023 saw a talented and diverse group of contenders, with 109 students nominated by their lecturers, representing 53 Universities.

The National Student Awards seek out the best Built Environment degree students, highlighting to industry the necessity to link with Universities early in the education process and also improve the students’ knowledge of the career options available to them. Many secure work placements as a direct result of competing in the Awards, which often translate into permanent positions upon graduation.
