BBA: International Bankers launch new prize

Fri 2nd Jan 2009

The Worshipful Company of International Bankers (WICP), a bankers' guild, has announced the creation of a new prize for excellence at Newcastle Business School, according to the British Banker's Association (BBA).

Called the Worshipful Company of International Bankers Prize, the new award will be given for the first time this academic year and will net the winning student £300.

The prize aims to encourage excellence in the field of finance and banking services, areas which the WICP feels are vital to the health of the UK economy.

Donald Halliday, programme director of accounting, financial services and economics at Newcastle Business School, said his University is "delighted" with the prize.

He added: "We are one of the few universities in the UK to run an undergraduate programme in finance and investment management. This prize will enable us to encourage, and suitably reward, outstanding student achievement on the course."

Newcastle Business School is a part of Northumbria University.
