Tian, who is now going on to Imperial College London to study for a master’s degree in finance, said: “I am so excited to receive this award. I would like express my sincere thanks to my parents, university, tutors and friends. I enjoyed four years studying here, a marvellous experience!”

Professor Miles said: “I am delighted Tian Siyang has been awarded the business school’s Tri-Campus Academic Excellence Award which recognises outstanding academic performance across our three campuses.
