Gold Medal for Special Degree Program in Computational Chemistry

Gold Medal for Special Degree Program in Computational Chemistry

The academic excellence of students of the Special degree programs in Chemistry, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Pharmacy at the Department of Chemistry, University of Colombo, are recognized by the award of a gold medal at the convocation. The Special degree program in Computational Chemistry had commenced in 2004 and there was no such award for students in this program. The Department was of the view that the award of a gold medal for this program would not only motivate these students but would also assist them in securing positions for postgraduate studies. The program is offered to ten students annually based on their performance during the first two years of study.

The Colombo University Faculty of Science Alumni Association of North America (CUFSAA-NA), in consultation with the Faculty of Science, has decided to fill this void by sponsoring a gold medal in computational chemistry by raising funds among CUFSAA members and depositing the required award money at the University of Colombo. The annual interest of the capital invested will be used for the purpose of awarding tjis gold medal.

The award was named the ‘CUFSAA Gold Medal for Computational Chemistry’ and was awarded annually starting from the academic year 2019/2020 for the best performance with either a First or Second Class (Upper Division) in the Honours degree examination in Computational Chemistry.

Listed below are the winners of the CUFSAA Gold Medal for Computational Chemistry.
