These awards are aimed at candidates who demonstrate excellent academic performance (often requiring the equivalent of a UK First-Class Honours degree) and the potential to contribute significantly to the university community, and for many faculties, eligible offer holders are automatically considered without needing a separate application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
