Undergraduate Dissertation Prize
In 2006 the Society instituted three undergraduate prizes each
year as part of its efforts to promote French history in universities.
The prizes - one first prize of £300 and two supplementary
prizes of £100 each - are awarded for the best final year
undergraduate dissertation or extended research essay produced
in a UK university in each academic year, concerning any aspect
of French history, or any aspect of contemporary French Studies
with a substantial historical dimension. Work eligible for these
prizes would normally be expected to exceed 7,000 words in length,
though consideration will be given to pieces falling just short
of this size. In 2006, the first year of the competition, there
were 13 entries from 8 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
The winning dissertation is guaranteed publication on the Society's
website, and might in addition be considered for publication in
modified form in the Society's journal, French History (published
by Oxford University Press). Those awarded one of the runner-up
prizes would be considered for (though not guaranteed) publication
on the website only.
Nominations for these prizes should be made ONLY by a recognised
university or college of higher education, through the relevant
Head of Department or Chair of Examiners covering this work. The
dissertation should have been awarded first class marks. Each HEI
may nominate up to three students. Students should NOT nominate
themselves.
The work should be forwarded, preferably in electronic form, by
Friday 23rd July 2010, to Dr. Stephen Tyre:
by email: st29@st-andrews.ac.uk
