Dr Ndjodi Ndeunyema awarded inaugural Subedi Prize for Best Doctoral Dissertation 2019-20
The Law Faculty is delighted to announce the winner of the first annual Subedi Prize for best doctoral dissertation. The Subedi Prize was established in 2019 thanks to a generous donation from Professor Surya P. Subedi QC. The prize is awarded to the thesis that, in the opinion of the judges, makes the most exciting original contribution to the relevant field of scholarship and is best-crafted in terms of organisation, style and presentation.

On hearing he had won the prize, Ndjodi said:
I am truly thrilled and humbled that my DPhil thesis has been awarded the Inaugural Subedi Prize. I greatly appreciate the diligent guidance of my supervisor Prof Sandra Fredman and members of our research group over the years who made the research and writing journey a truly rich and fulfilling one.
Professor Mindy Chen-Wishart, Dean of the Faculty of Law, said:
We are absolutely delighted to award the inaugural Subedi Prize for the best DPhil thesis for 2019-20 to Dr Ndjodi Ndeunyema.

Congratulations to Ndjodi and his supervisor Professor Sandy Fredman!
