Undergraduate Prizes
Leigh Douglas Staff Prize in Politics and International Relations
This prize was established in memory of the late Leigh Douglas, formerly a student in the Department, who was killed in Lebanon in 1986. It will be awarded to the undergraduate with the best results in Politics & IR in Part I, irrespective of his/her intended scheme of studies in Part II. If circumstances rise where the results of any two undergraduates are effectively equal, then the prize may be awarded to both and the prize divided between them.
The Pearson Education/PA Reynolds Prize in International Relations
The prize is the result of a donation made by the Pearson Education group and was established to record the contribution made to the Department by Philip Reynolds, its first Professor and later Vice-Chancellor of Lancaster University. The prize will be awarded to the third-year undergraduate who is registered for a degree in which Politics & IR is the major or one of the major subjects and who has secured the best results in International Relations combined with good results in at least one or more subjects in theory or comparative politics. The recommendation for its award will be made by the Part II Board of Examiners in Politics & IR.
The Oakeshott/Routledge Prize
This prize is the result of a donation by Routledge and is in honour of Michael Joseph Oakeshott, formerly Professor of Political Science in the London School of Economics and Political Science.
