Terms of reference

The committee will bear in mind the availability of other awards (academic prizes, sporting, musical and artistic awards/prizes and for service to the community).

• Up to two references supporting academic and non-academic achievements will be accepted and considered by the Chancellor's Prize Committee in the selection process. An academic reference should be provided by a departmental member of staff. A second reference is welcomed from either within the University or outside of the University (for example a placement provider).
