Open Eye: Music, electricity and jealousy earn this year's postgrad awards
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Each year the faculties of Arts, Science, Technology, Social Sciences, and of Mathematics and Computing are invited to nominate post graduate students to be recipients of the AOUG Foundation for Education Awards.
They must be graduates of the Open University, not employed by the OU, and in their ultimate or penultimate year of study. This year's winners were:
Bernard Gates (AOUG Chancellor Asa Briggs Award), nominated by the Arts faculty for his thesis on the codification of pitch elements in the early atonal music of Alban Berg;
Adrian Patrick, nominated by the Technology faculty (AOUG Baroness Lee of Asheridge Award) for his research on A Communications Architecture for the Electricity Supply Industry;
Angela Burns for her studies in accounts of jealousy in romantic relationships (AOUG Walter Perry Award) - made within the Social Sciences faculty.
The Awards were presented in the Lecture Theatre at Walton Hall in the presence of the Vice-Chancellor, members of OU staff, the recipients' families and friends and members of the Association.
A buffet lunch preceded a conducted tour of the Walton Hall campus for Association members.
