Davis Langdon launches student competition

Students will get the opportunity to win £5,000 in travel vouchers in a competition set-up by cost consultant Davis Langdon.

As part of the challenge, students have to match famous landmarks on a map of the world via a dedicated website www.mappedout.co.uk.

In addition, entrants will be asked to complete the question: “What famous landmark would you most like to visit and why?”

The entrant matching the landmark with the correct country in the fastest time and answering the tie-breaker question will win the prize.

The competition is open to those in full-time education or those that have graduated within the past two years.

Jill Pett, human resources partner at the firm, said: “We welcome entrants from students of all disciplines not just those studying for a construction or property-related degree.

“In fact, as a firm, we appoint a considerable number of non-cognates (those not studying an industry related degree) who are attracted by the range of career opportunities that the industry offers as well as our highly regarded graduate development programme.”

Since 2004, about 300 graduates have enrolled on to the programme that leads to professional chartership.
