First two students named to complete Johnson and Johnson summer project

Hanifa Begum and Ben Ayliffe have been named as the first two recipients of a £1,500 summer Educational Project award from Johnson & Johnson as part of its Success Through Education Programme (STEP).

Working through the universities J&J offered students the opportunity to present a project based on a literature review or survey around one of ten suggested topics. The students applied through their universities outlining what would make them a suitable candidate to carry out the project. Each university then put forward its favoured student submission before a judging panel within J&J made the final selection.

Each student will be supported by a university supervisor and be offered help by J&J through The Vision Care Institute in Berkshire and the projects will be conducted outside the scope of the students’ degrees.
