"However, my reasons for the selection are the same in both cases".
"Kapapa and Henderson distinguish themselves by being more analytic, and having clearly read texts on construction project management".
"Indeed, Henderson has obviously read my book! Very well done to them both".
The scholarships, both worth over £6,000, are awarded by MBSW after a competition in which applicants were required to submit an electronic presentation based on a case study provided to them.
This case study was concerned with 'Designing the Sheffield Arena', a multi use facility on the edge of the city.
