The University awards Principal’s Medals annually and they are one of the most important ways in which the University recognises staff and students. The awards are for professional services and academic colleagues, as well as current and recently graduated students, who have delivered exceptional service, served the University and wider community and demonstrated strong alignment with the University’s values.
How to nominate
Information on criteria and the nomination form can be accessed via the Principal’s Medals webpages:
Principal’s Medals nomination guidance and nomination form

The Principal will choose the winners and they are normally awarded their medal during winter graduations.
