The CEP awards are presented annually to students who achieve the highest marks in the course. Additionally, the University of Tasmania offers a prize to students based on the level of engagement and quality of participation in the course.
There are three award categories, which are:
UTAS Prize for Excellence Award

Audrey Lee – Code of Conduct Achievement Award.
“ The MA CEP is an invaluable resource which provides comprehensive knowledge and insight into the complex pharmaceutical industry. It has helped me understand the key overarching principles that guide pharmaceutical interactions with HCPs, patients, and the general public and how these concepts are applied and translate to our everyday ways of working.”
Alexander Moore – UTAS Active Learning Prize (Semester 2) and a CEP Achievement Award.

Hanson Lee – CEP Achievement Award
