Awards

Congratulations to Robert Gothard

On 19 July 2023 the School of Business – Western Sydney University awarded Robert the:

  • Apt Wealth Partners Award in Financial Planning – Top Graduate, and;
  • WSU Deans Medal Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning – GPA7

Thank you to everyone who has supported Robert in completing the legally required, Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning.

Even with over 30 years of experience and being continually recognised as one of Australia’s preeminent Financial Planners, the effort required to achieve these outcomes was phenomenal and we all celebrate in his achievements.

A Dean’s medal is awarded to students in recognition of their outstanding academic performance in their course.

Western Sydney University (WSU) uses a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) to measure the academic performance of individual students in order to acknowledge excellence and determine recipients of Excellence Awards.

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a number that represents the average of your grades achieved throughout a single degree.

Western Sydney University calculates GPAs on a 7-point scale, with 7 being the highest grade possible (and achievement of it is quite rare).
