Centre for Science and Engineering of Materials Prize
There are two prizes each valued at $2,000 for award each year: A prize for the final year thesis in the field of Science of Materials and a prize for the final year thesis in the Application of Materials. Copies of the theses are to be in the hands of the Director, CSEM by 30 November each year.

Howlett Honours Prize for Geography
The prize is awarded to the graduate or graduate who having been enrolled in Geography IV(H) has achieved the most outstanding result in the course.


Institute of Wood Science Prize
The prize is for award each year to the graduating student who obtains the best results in the general area of wood science, calculated by weighting the marks obtained in the courses offered by the Department of Forestry at 90% Forest Products and 10% Plantation Management. If an honours student submits a thesis on a topic related to wood science the honours result will be taken into account as an additional criterion.


Janet Elspeth Crawford Prize
A bequest by Sir John Crawford, formerly Vice-Chancellor and Chancellor of the University, enabled the University to establish a prize in memory of his daughter, Janet Elspeth Crawford. The prize is awarded to the female student who completes, during the twelve months preceding the nomination, an undergraduate degree at the College of Science with First Class Honours and is nominated by the Dean, following consultation with the relevant Heads of Departments or Schools, about the relative academic merit of the components of Honours Year.
