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.

• Result: You have achieved the highest overall mark in the first-year summer examinations (modules GM1001, GM1002, GM1003, GM1010 and GM1020).
• 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

You do not need to apply. The UCC automatically awards the prize to the first-year student with the highest ranking, based on the results of the summer exams.
