Prizes and Awards

Each year the School of Medical and Health Sciences recognises the outstanding achievements of our students by awarding prizes at a formal ceremony held at Joondalup Resort.

Prize selection is awarded according to eligibility criteria, generally the highest unit mark or the highest Weighted Average Mark (WAM) in a course.

Students who have won a prize are notified in December and are invited to attend the annual Prizegiving Ceremony in March each year. The Prizegiving Ceremony is an important event in our School. We are proud of our students and delight in celebrating their outstanding achievements.
