THE Institution of Civil Engineers (Ice) North-East has presented a student from the region with an award to recognise his efforts at Durham University.

Malcolm Hudson, from Nunthorpe, Middlesbrough, achieved the highest score for a civil engineering student at the university on his way to a First Class MEng Civil Engineering degree.

Malcolm was presented with the Ice Annual Award for the best performance over the final and penultimate years of the four-year degree course.

Professor Peter Tavner head of Durham’s School of Engineering said “Malcolm has shown excellence in civil engineering during his time at Durham. His work and examinations have been at a first class level, and his design and practical activities exemplary. He is graduating with the best civil engineering degree this year out of a class of 36.”

Stephen Larkin, regional director of Ice North East, said: “Malcolm has clearly excelled to earn the overall highest marks at Durham University, so this award is well-deserved and will hopefully prove valuable to his future.”
