TARGETJOBS UNDERGRADUATE OF THE YEAR: Imperial College London student amongst the winners

An Imperial student was amongst the winners at 2nd annual TARGETJobs Undergraduate of the Year ceremony

The TARGETjobs Undergraduate of the Year Awards exist to raise the profile of employability skills on campus, to engage academic departments in identifying their best undergraduates and to find students who have a winning mixture of personal and academic skills.

Imperial College London student Xavier Bourret Sicotte (pictured below alongside Michael Portilo and Victor Chavez  of Thales, the award's sponsors) beat nine other shortlisted hopefuls to 'Systems and Electronics Undergraduate of the Year Award'.

Xavier, a student in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department at Imperial recieved his award   - which included £3000 and a site-visit to a flight simulator with Thales - at a ceremony held at The East Wintergarden, Canary Wharf earlier this month.
