UOW Business Students win Pearsons Achievement Awards

Creative expressions of study inspirations win national competition

Congratulations to two of our Business students winning the Pearson Student Academic Achievement Awards for demonstrated outstanding effort, dedication and achievement. Postgraduate student, John Montgomery won in the category of Management, Marketing, Decision Science and Business Law Science while Dean’s Scholar student, Mai Anh Nguyen, took out Accounting, Economics and Finance.

“I was so happy to be awarded first place,” said Mai Ahn. “I wanted to enter a national competition so it has given me really good experience in competing at a high level. The competition was about why you had chosen your degree and the impact it will have on your life, so it was very easy for me to showcase the university I love and my passion for accounting and finance all in one.”

With a record amount of entries received in the competition, it’s a fantastic achievement for our students to win in two separate categories.
