-------------------------------------------

For Academic staff:

the University of Witwatersrand is affiliated with The Undergraduate Awards and is part of our network of innovative universities, identifying and encouraging the best undergraduate research around the world.

The Undergraduate Awards is the world's only pan disciplinary academic awards programme. Students submit work for free online and it is judged by a panel of Irish and International judges. The winners are published in our academic journal, brought to Ireland for the UA Global Summit, a 4-day networking event, and recognised as the best in their field.

We find that students are more likely to submit when encouraged by their lecturers. We have 25 different categories for all students, which can be found here<http://www.undergraduateawards.com/submission-2/categories/>. The 2015 Undergraduate Awards is open for submissions and the deadline is May 29th.

Winning students benefit from the following:

2. The Network

UA also recognises the top 10% of shortlisted students in each category<http://www.undergraduateawards.com/submission-guide/categories>, who receive a certificate for their achievement.
