Academic achievement awards celebrate success by rewarding undergraduate students with the highest average percentage mark (APM) at Level 4 or Level 5 (equivalent to Years 1 and 2 of a full-time degree) within each academic department.
If you are a registered student on an undergraduate degree, integrated Masters degree or foundation degree, you may be eligible for an academic achievement award.
Academic achievement awards are worth up to £1,000, paid in one instalment. If more than one student in an academic department attain the same highest average percentage mark for their year group, the £1,000 payment will be divided equally between all qualifying recipients.
Eligibility
To qualify for an academic achievement award, you must:
- Attain the highest average percentage mark within your academic department at Level 4 or Level 5 in academic year 2023/24 (Level 4 only for foundation degree students)
- Progress onto the next full year of your course in academic year 2023/24 and be fully registered and in attendance
- Be domiciled in the UK, Isle of Man, Channel Islands or EU.
