Waikato Management School Medals for Academic Excellence

  • Only a small number of Academic Excellence Medals are awarded each year to some of our top management graduates, based on their overall grade point average (GPA).
  • The final list of recipients is chosen through a rigorous and confidential selection process involving the Associate Dean Academic & Operations, the Manager of Programmes and Accreditation, the Qualifications Convenors, and the Director of Professional Programmes.
