The Victoria University Business School annual Student Awards celebrate and formally recognise the outstanding achievements of our students.

The student awards are typically sponsored by close partners of the Victoria University Business School and the broader University. Sponsors include alumni, employers, Work Integrated Learning host organisations, professional bodies aligned with the School, and academic text publishers.

Victoria University Business School acknowledges the long-standing sponsors of these awards, whose support we have appreciated over many years.
