2023 award winners
Foundation Degree in Payroll Management Student of the year award 2023
Awarded to: Karolina Kurkus
Nominated by: Julie Aghanti-Akinremi, CIPP tutor, MBA BSc FCIPPdip FCMI MGPA MInstLM AFHEA
For the Foundation Degree in Payroll Management student of the year award, tutors are asked to nominate one of their students whom, in their opinion, warrants the award.
The student does not have to be an straight A-grade student, but they might have overcome work or personal issues to continue their studies. It was a great privilege for the nomination committee to read the nominations and they were simultaneously enlightened and humbled by each one. They have no doubt in their minds that each nominated person will go on to great things and will exceed even their own expectations. “Graduating from the course felt like a great accomplishment in itself, but being recognised as the student of the year is an honour I did not even dare dreaming of. I feel humbled by this award, and I am very grateful for the opportunities it stands for. I am incredibly appreciative of my tutors and the education team at CIPP who supported me throughout this journey.”
Foundation Degree in Payroll Management Best work-based project award 2023
Awarded to: Emma Keech
Nominated by: Ray Ronnpage, CIPP tutor, MCIPPdip
Over the years, Foundation Degree students have produced work-based projects with great enthusiasm and dedication. And this year was no exception.
The student work-based project is based on real life issues faced by their organisations and is probably the biggest piece of written work the students have ever done. It is designed to challenge them. The project requires a great deal of academic research, studying, time and determination to manage that task.

The recipient of this year’s award participated knowledgably, throughout the course, applying themselves extremely well and delivering consistently high-quality work.
