business-school-awards

ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Business School Dean’s List for Academic Excellence was established to recognise the outstanding achievements of its students.

Undergraduate

Undergraduate students who achieve outstanding Academic Excellence and are in the top 3% of their single or double degrees are eligible to receive the Dean’s List Award. This award is based on Academic performance from the previous calendar year.Ìý

Recipients of the Dean’s List AwardÌýreceive a certificate, an entry is recorded on their academic transcript and their names published on the ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Prize Winners website.

  • The Award is only available to students who have successfully completed a minimum of 24 units of credit (UOC) of Business School courses in the previous calendar year (industrial training/experience and exchange courses are not counted as completed units of credit). The Award is not available to students for their honours year.

  • Selection is based on a student’s WAM across Business School courses completed in the previous calendar year. Awards will be granted for the following stages (stages are based on UOC for all courses, not just Business School courses):

    Stage 1: 0-48 UOC completedÌý

    (0-54 UOC for students who have completed more than 48 UOC in the year. This is to take into consideration that students can complete 54 UOC across the trimesters.

    I.e. if a student has 54 UOC completed and this is completed across 1 year only, they would be considered for the Stage 1 award. However if e.g. the student has completed 24 UOC in 2021, and completed 30 UOC in 2022. They would be considered for the Stage 2 award for 2022.)

    Stage 2: 49-96 UOC completed

    (49-108 UOC for students who completed more than 48 UOC in the year. This is to take into consideration that students can complete 54 UOC across the trimesters.

    I.e. if a student has 108 UOC completed and they had completed 54 UOC across 1 year only, they would be considered for the Stage 2 award. However if e.g. the student has completed 72 UOC in prior years, and completed 36 UOC in 2022. They would be considered for the Stage 3 award for 2022)

    Stage 3: >96 UOC completed

    As the top 3% of students are selected, the cut-off WAM may vary from year to year and from stage to stage. Students may only receive a Dean's List Award once for each Stage.

  • The recipient list for the Dean’s List Awards cannot be accessible before February theÌýfollowing year. That is, e.g., for 2021 Dean’s Award recipients, the official list will beÌýupdated in February 2022.
