This year’s cohort of Waynflete studies projects have been awarded their prizes in an informal ceremony at Magdalen College. The winning students were the best out of a cohort of 175. Working on their projects over the course of the last year whilst navigating the challenges of lockdown, they greatly impressed the panel of university judges, including many academics from Magdalen College.
This year, topics ranged from Soviet architecture, to cardiovascular disease and gender-fair language in German.
As part of the Waynflete programme our Lower Sixth Former produce a research project on a topic of their choice with the guidance of MCS teachers and external academic tutors.
Many congratulations to our prize-winners! We are very grateful to Magdalen College for supporting our students.
