UTS Business School recognises the outstanding achievements of our top students and staff each year.
2019 awards ceremony
Prizes and scholarships are awarded each year to recognise the outstanding achievements of our top students and teaching staff for meritorious work and are made available through the generosity of individuals and public and private organisations.
Dean’s Merit List recipients are recognised as our highest performing students across our many undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
Every recipient below should be tremendously proud of their achievements. Congratulations to the prize, scholarship and merit list recipients, and thank you to our donors and partners for their continued support of the pursuit of academic excellence amongst our students.
