The Undergraduate Awards operates 21 international categories from Philosophy to Medicine, Nursing, Midwifery, Law, Visual Arts, Computer Sciences and more. UA is a prestigious and international academic awards programme, which is wholly pan-discipline. It aims to celebrate and support the world’s brightest and most innovative undergraduate students by recognising their best coursework and projects

This year a final year B.Sc. Nursing student at University College Cork (UCC), Ms Siobhán O’Connor, won a top international academic award at the 2013 Undergraduate Awards. The Undergraduate Awards (UA) is the world’s only pan-discipline academic awards programme that identifies the leading creative thinkers and problem solvers through their undergraduate coursework. Ms O’Connor was the overall winner in the Nursing & Midwifery category for her research focusing on the efficacy of zinc based wound products in healing chronic venous leg ulcers. She beat off stiff competition from students at the University Pennsylvania, King’s College London, Queen’s University Belfast, and the University of Ulster to name a few as this year’s Undergraduate Awards received over 3,700 submissions from 182 institutions across 25 countries.
