Student Prize Night

Faculty Prizes

Each year the Faculty of Business and Law recognises the outstanding achievements of our students through Student Prizes. Students who have won a prize are notified by the Faculty of Business & Law by the end of February each year and are invited to attend the Student Prize Night to receive their prize at that time.

The Student Prizes further highlight the ECU’s commitment to community engagement. Industry partners sponsor a given award relevant to their organisation, which highlights the outstanding performance of a student. Categories encompass all Faculty of Business and Law disciplines, and relate to a specific unit, course, or overall general excellence.
