University College Cork - THE BLOOMSBURY PRIZE

The Bloomsbury Prize

You will receive specialist legal books and bibliographies worth 500 EUR, which will be awarded as a one-off prize in the form of books rather than cash. The prize is sponsored by the legal publisher Bloomsbury Professional. University College Cork (UCC) awards it to the first-year law student with the highest mark. The funds come from the income generated by an endowment, so the exact value may vary slightly from year to year. Please regard 500 EUR as a guide.

Who can apply

• University: You are enrolled at University College Cork in Ireland.
• Field of study: You’re studying law, for example on the BCL programme.
• Grades: You achieve the highest marks of all students in the First Civil Law Examination, the exam taken in the first year of law.
• First attempt: You’ll pass this exam at the first attempt. Anyone who has to retake it doesn’t stand a chance.
• Nationality: All nationalities can apply.

How to apply

No application is required. The prize is automatically awarded to the pupil with the best exam result.
