Entrance scholarships up to €2000 are awarded each year to students based on their first Leaving Certificate results. Over half of the scholarship winners this year achieved 600 points in the Leaving Certificate across the Colleges of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Science, Business and Law, Science, Engineering and Food Science and Medicine and Health.

Dr Murphy said that the Leaving Certificate results attained by UCC students clearly demonstrate the University’s continuing ability to attract the brightest students to its campus. He congratulated the scholarship holders on their outstanding achievements and paid tribute to the professionalism and commitment of their teachers and the support of their families.

The ceremony, with academic staff and students, took place in the Multifunctional Hall, Áras na Mac Léinn, UCC and was followed by a reception for the scholarship holders, their parents, school principals and guidance counsellors.
