Student Awards
The InstMC’s Outstanding Student Awards encompass many aspects of achievement as we wish to celebrate students who make great improvements, show creativity in their studies and who visibly strive towards success with all they have learned.
This year Robert Gordon University had it’s second graduating cohort for the Instrumentation, Measurement and Control Graduate Apprenticeship so we were able to present an Outstanding Achievement Award to the Overall Best Student on the course.

A massive thank you to Robert Gordon University and the lecturers and course leaders involved in the selection process, it is always a pleasure to work together and celebrate the students on the Instrumentation, Measurement and Control Graduate Apprenticeship.
The winning student and the lecturers attended the annual dinner where they were presented with the awards and could celebrate in style!
