Postgraduate Scholarships

In the competitive international job market, a postgraduate degree can be one of the biggest advantages for students. Learning new skills, improving job prospects, and forging the first steps to a life-long career, hundreds of students are taking up postgraduate studies at University College Cork every year.

While a postgraduate degree is a worthwhile investment for the future, the financial cost can be a roadblock for students. UCC aims to support its postgraduate community by offering scholarships and bursaries to the best and brightest prospective and current students.
