KTL Europe sponsors prizes for top three project management and innovation students
The three top-performing students from the MSc Project Management and Innovation programme for 2024/25 were presented with trophies from a company that sponsored awards for the programme’s highest achieving students.
The presentation took place prior to the business school graduation on Thursday, November 6, with Paul Korzeniewski from awards sponsor KTL Europe, and employee and alumna Ava Kerr alongside him, presenting the trophies. The top three students were Alessia Grimoldi, Trudy Mansbridge and Gregory Kelly.
Alessia, who was top overall, said, "The course made project management feel real: we turned theory into practice through projects based on real situations."
Trudy added, "Studying Project Management and Innovation at the University of Strathclyde was such a rewarding and fulfilling experience. The support from staff, their engaging teaching, and the opportunities beyond the classroom really helped me grow and feel prepared for my future career.”
Gregory commented, “The course was exceptional and complemented my industry experience perfectly, equipping me with robust toolkits and frameworks that have accelerated my professional development. The high-quality curriculum has been instrumental in preparing me for the next stage of my career.”
Course director Ranjit Das, Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Innovation, said, “I’d like to thank KTL Europe for their engagement with the programme – as the place of useful learning, we are always delighted to welcome business and industry onto campus and to engage with our students.
“I’d also like to congratulate Trudy, Alessia and Gregory who were the top-performing students in what was a talented class and wish them well with their future endeavours following graduation.”
