CASS students come out with flying colours

A record number of students from the University of Aberdeen have been selected to represent Scotland as part of the Saltire Foundation's entrepreneurial programme.

The fifteen students, thirteen of whom are from the College of Arts and Social Sciences, are in their third year of study and are working towards a range of degrees from Sociology, to History of Art, to Management Studies.

Following a competitive selection process that saw hundreds of applications from across Scotland, the ambitious students were chosen for a combination of attributes including exceptional academic achievement, active citizenship and personal development. They will all spend their summer break gaining valuable work experience with prestigious host companies, such as GlaxoSmithKline, in various locations around the world including Singapore, Boston and Melbourne.

The thirteen CASS students are:

  • Olivia Ancell, MA French-History of Art
  • Malvina Bondy, MA Economics
  • Gillian Chivinge, MA Accountancy-Finance
  • Margaret Gough, MA Accountancy-Economics
  • David Healy, MA Economics
  • Stefaniya Ilieva, MA Economics-Management Studies  
  • Anna Kennedy, MA Management Studies
  • Riona MacGillivray, MA French-Sociology
  • Hannah Marshall, MA Management Studies-Psychology
  • Douglas McMillan, MA Management Studies
  • Camilla Robertson, LLB (Hons)
  • Graceann Robertson, MA French-Management Studies
  • Aimee Thomson, MA Management Studies

Sandy Kennedy, chief executive of Entrepreneurial Scotland said: “This year sees another record intake of scholars of outstanding calibre, drive and ambition.”

Peter Fantom, Head of Careers Service at the University added: “These scholarships from the Saltire Foundation provide an invaluable learning experience for students here at the University. We are delighted to have so many students representing the University of Aberdeen in so many prestigious organisations across the world.”
