DOP Student Prizes for Excellence

As part of the DOP’s commitment to encouraging students to enter the profession of occupational psychology, we will be presenting three student awards for 2013.

The three awards are:

• 1st Award: £1000, plus free daily admission to the DOP Conference 2013, and up to £150 towards travel and accommodation.
• 2nd Award: £750, plus free daily admission to the DOP Conference 2013, and up to £150 towards travel and accommodation
• 3rd Award: £500, plus free daily admission to the DOP Conference 2013, and up to £150 towards travel and accommodation.

The awards will be made to those students submitting project outlines (past or present) which, in the opinion of a panel of distinguished academic and practitioner judges, make the most valuable contribution to the field of occupational psychology in the 21st century.

The presentation of the awards will take place at the DOP annual Conference. All winners should ensure that they are able to attend the conference. The first-prize winner will be given a programme slot to present their research project.
