University College Cork - The Prize in First Year Graduate Entry Medicine

The Prize in First Year Graduate Entry Medicine

At the end of your first year of study, you will receive a one-off prize of 500 EUR. University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland awards this prize to the top-performing student in the first year of its ‘Graduate Entry to Medicine’ programme. You do not need to apply: the prize is automatically awarded to the student who achieves the highest overall mark in the first-year summer examinations. The student with the second-highest mark receives a certificate, but no cash prize.

• Standard: You achieve First Honours in all subjects. If no student reaches this standard, the prize is not awarded.
• Nationality: All nationalities can apply.

How to apply
