University College Cork - Irish Traditional Musicians Scholarship

What you get

You will receive a one-off payment of 381 EUR if you play traditional Irish music and enrol on a music degree programme at University College Cork. Each year, the university awards two of these scholarships to first-year students on the Bachelor’s degree programme in Music (programme code CK104). You will receive this amount as a one-off payment, not as a monthly instalment.

Who can apply

• Where you study: You are in the first year of your Bachelor’s degree, specialising in music, at University College Cork.
• Enrolment: When you apply, you must already be a student at UCC.
• Musical skill: You have a high level of proficiency in one or more of the main traditional Irish instruments and deliver excellent live performances.
• Admission: You meet the standard entry requirements of the Department of Music.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

Every first-year student can put their name forward. If you apply, you play a live audition during your first year. The music department recommends the winners, and the academic board makes the final decision.
