Eligibility
Early each year, nominations are called for though the College Deans. Those graduate students most deserving of recognition for the quality of their graduate work are selected on the basis of academic excellence by a committee appointed by the Vice-Chancellor. Two prizes are available for award to PhD students who have been approved to the degree during the preceding calendar year, normally one for the natural sciences and one for social sciences/humanities. From time to time a prize for outstanding ability in integrating and applying different fields, approaches and/or knowledge may be awarded. This option became available with effect from 2010.
Details of prizes including eligibility and Conditions of Award are subject to change without notice.
