The School of History Annual Prize-giving Ceremony 2026 took place in the Aula Maxima on Wednesday, 18 February. The ceremony is an annual event celebrating the excellent achievements of students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Prizes were awarded based on academic performance in the last academic year, 2024-2025. We are extremely proud of the outstanding achievements of our students.

The Two-day event, Broadcast to Podcast; celebrating 100 years of radio in Ireland, was convened by Dr Finola Doyle O'Neill, Broadcast Historian at the School of History. 

The airwaves are set to spark with insight, reflection, and forward-thinking as UCC History, in partnership with Coimisiún na Meán, and supported by RTÉ, and the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI), proudly announces a landmark Radio Conference to commemorate 100 years of Irish radio. This two-day national event, taking place January 29–30, 2026, at University College Cork, will feature some of the most influential voices in Irish broadcasting, both past and present. The conference will explore the legacy, culture, and future of radio in Ireland through a dynamic programme of panels, keynotes, and archival exhibitions.
