What you get

You receive a prize of 250 EUR for the top marks in a language subject during your first year at university. The National University of Ireland (NUI) awards these prizes. They are among its oldest and date back to a bequest from 1888. The prize is given in eight languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Irish/Gaeilge, Italian, Latin and Spanish.

• Study level: You are a first-year undergraduate taking language modules, or language-related literature and cultural studies modules.
• Results: You have the highest marks in one of the eight language subjects at your university.

• First-language rule: If your first language is Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish, you cannot win the prize in that same language.
• Nationality: All nationalities can apply.

How to apply
