Whether it be under the direction of our core British Studies faculty or our visiting faculty from various disciplines, the quality of student work at Harlaxton College is very high.
To celebrate this fact, the College has, for some time, awarded an Essay Award to those students who have excelled in their academic endeavours and produced a piece of academic work or research, or a piece of creative writing or work, worthy of celebration.
