Undergraduate Awards open for submissions

If you’re proud of a piece of coursework you’ve completed as part of your undergraduate degree, submit your work to the Undergraduate Awards and gain global recognition for your achievement.

The Awards are open to students from around the world who have been awarded a 2:1 grade or equivalent for a piece of undergraduate coursework. If you have a piece of work in mind, choose a category to submit your work to and then click enter – it’s that easy.

The judges are looking for original and creative thinking.

Speaking about the awards programme, Dr Paul Redmond, Director of Student Experience and Enhancement, said: “The Undergraduate Awards is a fantastic competition. Last year, seven of our students received the Highly Commended award and we are incredibly proud of them for this achievement.

“I know that a lot of excellent work is completed by our undergraduates and we want to make sure those students have the opportunity to gain recognition for this on a global platform. If you’re not certain about entering, remember this – you’ve already done the hard work. Give it a go. You might be surprised where your work could take you.”

The prize

If your work is selected as a Global Winner you’ll receive a gold medal at the prestigious Awards Ceremony, which is held in Dublin. Your work will also gain global recognition by being entered into The Undergraduate Journal and you’ll be given access to the Undergraduate Awards Alumni Portal – a network of scholars and industry leaders. Highly Commended and Regional Winners also receive a certificate of recognition.
