Dean's Honours List

The Dean's Honors List acknowledges the outstanding dedication and capabilities of the top-performing students within the Faculty of Science.

Eligibility

Undergraduate students ranked in the top 3% of their year level within their course
Graduate students ranked in the top 5% of their course upon completion*

*For courses with <5 students completing, a WAM of at least 85% is required.

Inclusion on a Dean’s Honours list (DHL) is on the basis of the weighted average of credit points across the year in the relevant course.

*Number of DHL students = 3% x number of all students at the year level.

Inclusion in a Dean’s Honours list is acknowledged on a student’s Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) and academic transcript. Awarded students will also receive a letter or certificate from the faculty.
Inclusion in a Dean’s Honours list is not affected by, and does not affect, the award of any other prize or scholarship at the University.
There is no financial benefit associated with the Dean’s Honours List award.
Students are eligible for recognition on the Dean's Honours list only once per year, meaning they cannot receive Dean's Honours for more than one level in the same academic year
The Dean's Honors list is compiled annually, which means that students starting in the middle of the year may see their eligibility impacted.
