The Pulse triumphs again

---

It's official - the Pulse is the Best Student Magazine in the country. It has beaten off a strong shortlist of university magazines at Oxford, York and Liverpool John Moores to take top prize in the NUS/Independent National Student Journalism Awards.

Editors Bonnie Malkin and Jessica Eveleigh received the award at a ceremony at King's College, London on 13 November. A delighted Melissa Burn, USSU Communications Officer, said: "After all the hard work that has been put in, it was well deserved." The Pulse was also runner-up for Best Small Budget Student Publication.

This latest success comes after last month's triumph in the Guardian student media awards, when the Pulse took the Shoestring Award (for excellence on a limited budget) and was shortlisted for Student Magazine of the Year.

In addition, BIOLS student Owen Davis followed his nomination for Guardian Student Photographer of the year by featuring on the NUS/Independent shortlist for Best Student Photographer.
