The BPS Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology has established the annual H.T.A. Whiting Undergraduate Dissertation Prize. Research on any aspect of sport and exercise psychology is eligible.

- It must represent the independent work of the student submitting.
- It should be accompanied by a letter of support, and confirmation that it is the student's own work, from the supervisor.
- The study should represent an original investigation into any topic in Sport and Exercise Psychology.
- The study should show evidence of a high level of critical and analytical thought
- It should demonstrate high levels of scientific rigour in its conception, design, analysis and write up
- It should demonstrate high levels of presentation including appearance, grammar, spelling and academic writing style
- Only one dissertation will be considered from each Department/School
Dissertations should be submitted to the Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology by 15th July each year.
The thesis and supervisor's letter of support should be sent to:
Dr. Jan Graydon
Honorary Secretary, DSEP
