UCC’s Quercus Talented Students’ Programme aims to support and to promote “excellence in academia, sport, creative and performing arts, active citizenship and innovation/entrepreneurship for both prospective undergraduate/level 8 students and students already registered in UCC”

The Department of Film and Screen Media is proud that a number of its students have won awards under this scheme. (https://www.ucc.ie/en/quercus/about/)
