Hamilton Architects are following up on last year’s success of our debut bursary awards scheme with an even bigger and better competition for Ulster University students for 2025.
Partner Graeme Ogle said: “We are delighted with the number of entries from UU architecture and ATM students for the Hamilton Bursary Awards 2025. The awards are a great experience for all involved, stretching students and offering them an opportunity to show what they can do.
“This year, we separated out the competitions and created exciting new challenges for participants. This has created opportunities for group as well as individual work and brought the awards to a wider student audience.”
Four Ulster University students – two Architecture and two Architecture Technology & Management undergraduates – benefited from awards in 2024. Winners were selected from outstanding projects submitted as part of their student coursework at UU.
Graeme added: “We very much enjoyed having the four 2024 winners with us at the practice, giving them the opportunity to expand their skills and experience, and look forward to working with Dr Martina Murphy and Gareth Alexander of UU in finalising the 2025 competition.”
Dr Murphy, Architecture Senior Lecturer, said: ““Hamilton Architect’s Award offers the opportunity for creativity and innovation amongst our 2nd year architecture students, showcasing UU’s future talent and celebrating their achievements.
“The guidance of Dr.Taina Rikala, Senior Lecturer in Urban Design, has been instrumental in inspiring the students to excel in this award, and we are delighted to be building on last year’s success”.
