What is academic achiever?

An academic achievement is something you do or achieve at school, college or university - in class, in a laboratory, library or fieldwork. It does not include sport or music.

An academic achievement, such as graduating 1st in one's class, is sometimes a purely quantitative matter, while having the findings of lengthy, comprehensive research published by a recognized journal is also a notable academic achievement. Being named head/chairman of a particular department at a university is both a professional and an academic achievement.
