University of Limerick - Horse Racing Ireland Prize

Horse Racing Ireland Prize

You will receive a trophy for the best dissertation on the subject of the thoroughbred industry, i.e. the breeding and racing of thoroughbred horses. This is a trophy, not a cash prize. Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) funds the prize and presents it once a year at the University of Limerick’s autumn graduation ceremony. One student receives this award each year.

Who can apply

• Course: You are studying for a Bachelor of Science in Equine Science (programme code LM093) at the University of Limerick in Ireland.
• Study year: You are in your fourth and final year of study.
• Project: You hand in the best final-year project on the thoroughbred industry. An external examiner judges the projects.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply if you are on the course.

How to apply

No separate application is required. The prize is automatically awarded to the student whose dissertation on the subject of thoroughbred horse breeding is judged to be the best. If you have any questions, please contact the course staff at the University of Limerick.
