Top performing postgraduate student wins award

CISI 4

Earlier this term we announced Akshat Vyas as the recipient of the CISI Educational Trust Award 2019. We are excited to hear that from the participating universities, Akshat was chosen as the top performing postgraduate student and received an additional £3000 award.

The additional award was based on an essay submission and interview performance with the Educational Trust, which included a general knowledge test and questions about the CISI. After successfully completing the interview process, Akshat was invited to the CISI Annual Awards Ceremony in Mansion House, where he was presented the award.
