Undergraduate students have been rewarded for their efforts in work-based assignments over the summer holiday.

This year, the STEP Programme has seen pupils sign up to a record number of projects in order to develop their career opportunities and work experience.

Students presented their work to a panel of judges and winners were decided for each of the awards available including the Most Enterprising Student.

Coordinator of the STEP Programme Ian Moncrief-Scott says the students should be very proud of what they achieved:
