University College Cork - THE JOHN BUSTEED MEMORIAL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS

John Busteed Memorial Prize in Economics

You will receive up to 100 EUR and a printed certificate. University College Cork (UCC) awards this prize once a year to the student with the best academic performance in Economics. A separate prize is awarded to the top student in each year group, meaning that several students are honoured each year. It is named after John Busteed, who was Professor of Economics at UCC from 1924 to 1964, and is funded by a memorial fund set up by his friends.

Who can apply

• University: You are studying for a bachelor’s degree at University College Cork.
• Field of study: You study economics in one of these programmes: Arts (year 1, 2 or 3), Commerce (year 1 to 4), or the BA in Economics Through Transformational Learning (year 1 to 4).
• Grades: You have the highest average mark in the economics courses in your year group. Only the best student in each year group wins.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

You do not need to apply. Every year, the UCC automatically awards the prize to the students with the highest marks in economics in each year group.
