*In 2007-8 a new award was created which will be presented only when it is felt that a given student has excelled such as to merit its conferring, and therefore this award may not be necessarily awarded every year:-
 
This award is presented to a student who has excelled in developing or fostering the development of a special aspect of the department/discipline:-

In 2009-10 it was decided to make this award. This award was presented to Kevin Gibson for his exceptional contribution to promoting the special bond that exists between the staff and students through his work as Peer Support Leader of the uLink Peer Support Scheme. This scheme aims to ease the transition between school and college by appointing mentors to new students in their first year. Kevin also implemented a year-on-year system in the Department, with students in more senior years acting as mentors to those in years below.
