Our prize-giving ceremony is an annual opportunity for us to reflect on how proud we are of the outstanding work our masters students produce and how fortunate we are of being part of an academic environment that fosters work of such high quality. This is especially so this year, considering that most of it was done under challenging circumstances.听- Claudio de Magalh茫es, Head of School鈥�
