About this award / 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.
