STUDENTS from the University of Reading and Henley Business School at a regional event celebrating women studying property-related subjects.
The Women in Property National Student Awards aims to highlight and reward the best Built Environment degree students nationwide.
Universities nominate their top female second-year student on a built environment degree course and regional nominees go before a judging panel.
They are asked by a panel of judges about a given piece of coursework and their personal skills, professional potential, and industry understanding are assessed.
Safia Marchenko, BSc Architecture; Abigail Colling, BSc Building Surveying; Mary Melindji, BSc Quantity Surveying; Magdalena Maji, MEng Architectural Engineering; Rusul Ramdhan, BSc Architectural Engineering; and Nida Zahra, BSc Real Estate at Henley Business School; were all put forward for the regionals.
Mary Melindji and Rusul Ramdhan were both selected as regional winners for the South East and will progress to the national finals, while Nida Zahra was Highly Commended for presentation and passion for the sector.
Ms Melindji and Ms Ramdhan are now set to take part in the ‘Best of the Best’ Dinner at Claridge’s London, on Thursday, September 18, where the national winner will be announced.
Dr Emmanuel Essah, interim Head of the School of Built Environment, said: “We are extremely proud of all of our students and want to congratulate all of our nominated students for representing the departments and University so well.
“I wish Mary and Rusul the best of luck as they go forward to the national final.”
