Local businesses came together to reward university students who have shown themselves to be truly outstanding in their chosen discipline.
More than 40 businesses took part in the ceremony ranging from digital technology to accountancy companies, all of whom donated prizes to exceptional students.
Among those awarded was recent graduate Claire King (pictured right), who collected a prize from Brighton based solicitors Howlett Clarke, for being the best final year BA (Hons) Law with Accountancy student.
Claire who plans to start her Legal Practice course in September, said: "It's fantastic to have your achievements recognised with such a practical prize, and it really set a goal for me to work towards throughout the course."
Her prize was presented by Dawn Miles from Howlett Clarke solicitors, who have presented this award for the past sixth years.
Dawn said: "The firm was really pleased to take part in the ceremony. I think that it's important for local business to give something back to students who have put such an enormous amount of hard work into their fields of study. We particularly congratulate Claire King who was presented with our prize for her tremendous effort in being the best third year student. We wish her all the best in her chosen career."
