University Medal

In Australia, the University Medal is usually awarded upon completion of Honours degrees based on academic merit.

[2] The usual criterion is very high marks across all the subjects undertaken in the 4-year Honours degree.

In Sri Lanka, Universities award medals, usually named in honor of a senior faculty member at annual convocations for those who have achieved academic merit.

The University Medal is often awarded to the most distinguished undergraduate student upon graduation.

In addition to stringent academic criteria, students are also judged on extracurricular activities, publications, and other qualities.
