University College Cork - The Reilly Prize

The Reilly Prize

You receive a bowl and a cash prize, awarded once. The amount can vary a little from year to year because it is paid from an endowment and depends on investment returns. The prize comes from the School of Chemistry at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland. The department's academic staff fund it in honour of the late Professor J. Reilly, who led chemistry at UCC from 1924 to 1959. It goes to the top final-year chemistry student once a year.

Who can apply

• University: You’re studying at University College Cork.
• Degree: You are in the fourth year of the Bachelor’s (Hons) degree programme in Chemistry.
• Grades: You must have come first in the final examination of the four-year BSc (Hons) degree programme in Chemistry and achieved a ‘First Class Honours’ grade (the highest grade). In the event of a tie between two or more students, the prize will be shared.
• Nationality: All nationalities can apply.

How to apply

No application is required. The prize is awarded automatically each year based on your results in the final examination in chemistry.
