The Chancellor's Prize

Chancellor's Prize

The Chancellor's Prize for Excellence in PhD Research recognises candidates whose research is among approximately the top 1 per cent of PhD completions. An additional award may be made to an Indigenous candidate. You are eligible for nomination if you completed your degree in the previous year.

Nominations are made by faculties on the basis of:

• Recognition and impact of the research, demonstrating outstanding significance
• Publications or other research outputs that arise from or relate to your thesis
• Recognition of the research (by professional or community organisations, prizes and awards, invitations to conferences, etc).

Preference is given to theses that are passed without amendment. Theses passed with minor revision changes may also be considered.

Supervisors will be invited in February to complete a nomination form [PDF] to be submitted to their head of department for candidates who completed in the previous year.
