Bradley Rollings (centre) with Phil Cummings and Gemma Robinson of Sennheiser. Gemma is a BA (Hons) Music Management graduate from Bucks now working as a Channel Marketing Executive with Sennheiser after completing an internship with the company during her studies.The scholarship is presented to students based on their academic performance in the first year and is part of an education partnership agreement between the University in High Wycombe and Sennheiser.

It was presented following interviews between five shortlisted students and Phil Cummings, Sennheiser's Marketing Projects Manager.

The award included a cheque for £1,500, along with a Neumann TLM 103 microphone, and a pair of 25th anniversary Sennheiser HD25 headphones.

Bradley said: The money will be really useful as I have plans to set up my own music production and mixing business and develop a website for it.

The professional kit from Sennheiser and Neumann will be great for both my degree work and for what I plan to do after I graduate.

Runners-up Rebecca Crane, James Dewsnap, David Lane and Sam Newman each received a pair of Sennheiser HD25 headphones.

Phil Cummings said: All of the candidates interviewed well and demonstrated a real engagement with both their degree course and the ideas they had for future careers in audio and music production.

Bradley's professional, confident and driven approach really stood out though, and the ideas he had for setting up his own website to promote his production and mixing skills were really impressive.

Sennheiser is an official education partner of Bucks New University, creating industry-linked opportunities for students and focusing their employability.
