Information about University Medal
)
A University Medal from the University of Sydney.
A University Medal is one of several different types of awards, bestowed by universities upon outstanding students or members of staff. The usage and status of university medals differ between countries.
As award on graduation
Many universities award University Medals to the top undergraduate students upon graduation each year.Australia
In Australia, the University Medal is usually awarded upon completion of Honours degrees based on academic merit. The criteria for bestowing the University Medal are stringent [1], and the number of medals awarded is limited [2]. The usual criterion is very high marks across all the subjects undertaken in the 4-year Honours degree. In some universities (such as the University of Sydney), the University Medal is treated as a distinct division or class of the Honours degree ("First class Honours and University Medal").It is rare, but possible, for a student to receive two University Medals, by winning a Medal in each of two undergraduate degrees. H. V. Evatt, Australian politician and judge, for example, won University Medals in Philosophy and Law from the University of Sydney.
United States
The University Medal is often awarded to the most distinguished undergraduate student upon graduation. In addition to stringent academic criteria, students are also judged on extracurricular activities, publications, and other qualities.[3].As award for service
