The Undergraduate Awards is the only international pan-discipline academic awards programme in the world, in operation across the island of Ireland since 2009 and operating globally since 2011. It aims to recognize the best students in the world and to connect them to one another so as to encourage inter-disciplinary cooperation that also transcends borders.
The winners in each category will be selected from the highly commended by the respective judging panels over the coming week. Winners are named as the top student internationally in their respective field and secure for themselves attendance at the UA Global Summit, which is taking place across Dublin from 19th – 21st November.
