Megan Davies

A former student of Bewdley Sixth Form has been awarded the Stanford History Group Prize for the Best First Year Work in History at the University of Worcester. 

Megan Davies received her award at a ceremony celebrating academic achievement. 

“This award has helped improve my belief in myself and my confidence when it comes to writing other pieces of work,” said Megan, who plans to study for a PhD in the future. 

Megan added: “This award has been one of my biggest achievements. I can’t wait to see my own future work.” 

Professor Sally Moyle, Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic at the University, said: “We are incredibly proud of the students who have received academic scholarships and prizes.”  

Scholarships and prizes at the University of Worcester are supported by generous philanthropists, including the University’s distinguished Honorary Fellows, local employers and many successful graduates of the University. 

Staff at the University have also been raising funds for scholarship and hardship support as part of the University’s two-year Anniversaries Campaign, celebrating 20 years since gaining full university status in 2005, and 80 years since being founded as an emergency teacher training college in 1946. 

Professor Moyle said: “These awards demonstrate to potential employers the outstanding achievements of our students, while providing financial support and encouragement for those who’ve earned them.”
