Electrical and Electronic Engineering students from Malaysia awarded Lloydââ¬â¢s Register Foundation scholarships
Three top performing MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering students from the Universityââ¬â¢s Malaysia Campus (USMC) have each been awarded prestigious Lloydââ¬â¢s Register Foundation (LRF) scholarships.
Tim Kent, Technical Director (Marine) from Lloydââ¬â¢s Register joined Professor Paul Lewin, Head of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS), to present scholarships to the fourth year students Yiqian Hui, Aaron Pang and Wen Yee Tey. The students were honoured following their excellent academic and personal performance during the previous academic year. The scholarships cover each studentââ¬â¢s tuition fees for the coming year. Not only have the three students been awarded with scholarships this year, they also all received scholarships last year which shows true hard work and dedication.
As with all USMC degree students, Yiqian, Aaron and Wen Yee spent the first two years of their studies in Malaysia before transferring to Southampton for the final two years, completing their degree alongside other Electrical and Electronic Engineering students in ECS.
Professor Tim Kent, a University of Southampton alumnus, congratulated the students on their scholarships and focused on the close relationship that Lloydââ¬â¢s Register has with the university adding, ââ¬ÅLloydââ¬â¢s Register Foundation is very pleased to be funding scholarships for the Universityââ¬â¢s Malaysia Campusââ¬Â. He talked about the international journey the students have embarked on, from Malaysia to the UK and the global presence of Lloydââ¬â¢s Register around the world, including offices in Malaysia, the UK, throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Professor Paul Lewin commented ââ¬Åit is fantastic to present these awards from Lloydââ¬â¢s Register Foundation and it's a clear mark of the studentsââ¬â¢ hard work and successââ¬Â. He stressed the importance of the Universityââ¬â¢s relationship with Lloydââ¬â¢s Register adding ââ¬Åwe really are very keen that we work closely with Lloydââ¬â¢s Register Foundation going forwardsââ¬Â.
The University of Southampton has enjoyed a close working relationship with Lloydââ¬â¢s Register for over 40 years reinforced by the formal opening of the new Boldrewood Innovation Campus in Southampton in 2015 where Lloydââ¬â¢s Register has established a Global Technology Centre alongside the Universityââ¬â¢s world-class engineering facilities.
