Congratulations to student editors of Double Space, who have just launched the fifth the journal's fifth volume. The journal, which is edited, designed and overseen by second- and third-year students in the BA English programme, showcases award-winning work by undergraduate students in UCC. Essays published in Double Space have been awarded, or highly recommended for the UCC Undergraduate Award, the Patricia Coughlan Award, the Louise Clancy Memorial Prize and the Eoin Murray Memorial Prize. 

Please find, in the below link, details regarding the Global Undergraduate Awards. All Department of English 2nd and 3rd year students who submit work to the Global Undergraduate Awards are eligible to submit work to the UCC Department of English Undergraduate Awards.  The rules/requirements for the UCC Department of English Undergraduate Awards are the same as those for the Global Undergraduate Awards, with the exception that 2nd and 3rd year entrants will be judged separately; consequently, students cannot submit work from a previous academic year to the UCC Department of English Awards.  There will be one winner for the Department of English Undergraduate Awards in each year and 3 to 4 highly recommended entrants.

The School of English & Digital Humanities, along with the family of Eoin Murray, are delighted to announce that this year’s Eoin Murray Memorial Scholar is Valentine Jones!
