    [Taught] Postgraduate awards?
    Are there any awards for top achievers in postgraduate? (Aside from degree classification)

    For example, for undergraduate top achievers there are awards such as merit award, top 5% in the course award, top scorer award etc.


    What other certificate/award can you get for academic excellency aside from your Master's degree?

    Surely this would depend on your university? They might have awards, or prizes that you can submit essays/dissertations for. Otherwise, there might be prizes from the likes of the British Academy: these are usually essay prizes, and you'd need to seek them out and enter yourself, they're not automatically granted. Because a lot of postgraduate is research-based rather than based on exams/'coursework' as traditionally understood, prizes work a little bit differently.
