KPMG Outstanding Scholar - Year 2 BSc Accounting

KPMG, Chartered Accountants, offer two bursaries annually to two UCC students enrolled in 2nd year BSc Accounting, to the value of €1,500 each. Both students will also receive a 6-month work placement worth €10,000 during their third year on the programme. This scholarship recognizes students who have achieved strong academic results (at least a 2H.1 result in their first sitting of their 1st year) and demonstrated excellence in academic life, community initiatives, sports, and work experience. The scholarship supports undergraduate accounting students at University College Cork who combine high-level personal development with strong academic performance. Students must submit a 500-word personal statement outlining their achievements and success across multiple domains. Selection is made through interviews conducted by a panel including representatives from KPMG and the Department of Accounting and Finance.
