A York student is one of the top ten finalists for this year’s Female Undergraduate of the Year.
Second year student Bronwyn O’Neill overcame tough competition from seven hundred applicants to win a place on the shortlist.
Bronwyn said: “I applied for FUOTY as it looked like an interesting challenge with the potential of great rewards and experience.
“It was a very rewarding experience, definitely worthwhile! Even if I don’t make it to the number one position, it’s an amazing feeling to be in the top 10 out.
The whole process has been really enlightening and I’m sure the experience will help me in years to come.”
The winner of the award will be announced at a gala event in Canary Wharf, London on 25 April 2014, with the ceremony presented by Sir Trevor McDonald.
The winner will win a ten week paid summer internship with Rolls-Royce, including one or two weeks at a European facility, an opportunity to shadow a senior female manager for a day and an Apple iPad.
