Achievement in Biosciences Prize
To celebrate the publication of Behavioural Ecology, Reading the Story in DNA and the new editions of Introduction to Bioinformatics and First Ecology, Oxford University Press is sponsoring a prize to be awarded to the student in your biosciences department who has achieved the most, or shown the greatest improvement, over the course of the academic year.
We hope that this award will encourage students in their study of the biosciences, and that £100 worth of OUP titles will help them to broaden their understanding of this subject at at time when students' budgets are tight.

How can my department claim this prize for one of our students?
1. Discuss with your colleagues how the Achievement in Biosciences Prize would be best used within your department.
2. Choose your winning student.
3. Email us with the name of your winning student and a postal address at which they can be contacted - this can be the student's personal address or your departmental address.
4. We will contact you to confirm your nomination and write to the student to explain how they can claim their £100 worth of OUP books.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do we choose our winner?
Winners are chosen entirely at the discretion of the individual department. The prize can reward achievement in experimental work or exams, or general improvement in studies. If departments prefer, the prize can be split between two exceptional students.
What will our winning student receive?
When you inform us of the name of the winning student we will write to them enclosing a certificate and a copy of our Biosciences catalogue, along with a letter explaining how they can claim their prize. The student then selects books to the value of £100 which will be dispatched to them (or to the university if you would prefer to formally present the student with their prize).
Is there a deadline for nominations?
The Achievement in Biosciences Prize is only awarded to each institution once annually, but your department is free to choose at what point in the academic year you make your nomination.
