University of Nottingham - Bill Moore Prize

What the Bill Moore Prize is

The Bill Moore Prize recognises outstanding laboratory work by third-year physics students at the University of Nottingham. The School of Physics and Astronomy awards it once a year, sometimes to more than one student. The prize is named after Bill Moore, a pioneer of the technology behind MRI scans. As no prize money is specified, the value is shown here as zero.

Who can get it

• Degree level: You are in your third year of study.
• Where you study: You are studying physics at the University of Nottingham, in the School of Physics and Astronomy.
• What counts: The award of the prize is based on your experimental project work in the laboratory, which must be of outstanding quality.
• Nationality: Applicants of all nationalities are welcome to apply.

How it is awarded

You don’t need to apply for this prize. The school selects the winners based on their project results, so there is neither a form to fill in nor an application deadline.

How realistic are your chances?

This prize is very narrowly defined: only third-year physics students at a specific university are eligible, and the decision depends solely on the quality of their laboratory work. You cannot influence the decision through an application, but compelling, well-executed laboratory work will ensure that you stand out. As the prize can be awarded to more than one student each year, several outstanding achievements can be recognised at the same time.
