Four Burgmann alumni had their research essays selected as finalists in The Undergraduate Awards, the world's only pan-discipline academic awards program. In 2015, over 5,000 entries were received from 255 universities. 145 submissions were from ANU students, and 16 ANU students received this award.
Because our papers placed in the top 25 in their categories, we have been invited to attend the Undergraduate Awards Global Summit in Dublin later this year.
