Academic Achievement Awards
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.
Scholarship amount
Academic Achievement Awards are worth up to £1,000, paid in one instalment.
Should 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
Please note, the eligibility criteria below may be subject to change for 2023 awards. Please keep checking this page for any updates.
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 2022/23 (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.
