The Vice–Chancellor’s Global Award Prize -- This prize, supported by the Vice–Chancellor, recognises an individual student for their global graduate attributes.
Why does the Vice–Chancellor sponsor this prize?
By the time you graduate, we hope that our academic and extracurricular opportunities will have allowed you to grow professionally, to develop as a person and to formulate exciting plans for the future. Everyone’s journey is different and we’re proud of how our students mature and broaden their horizons.You will leave us not just with an internationally – recognised degree but with a critical way of thinking and the ability to work independently. Although you might not have all the answers, you’ll have the skills and aptitude to tackle any questions — qualities that will help you succeed in whatever you choose to do.
