School of Pharmacy Prize – Acorn to Mighty Oak

This prize recognizes the BPharm student at University College Cork who has demonstrated the greatest academic improvement from first year to fourth year. The award is based on the student who has improved their academic grade most since first year, calculated as the greatest difference between the overall aggregate in first year and the overall aggregate in fourth year. Students repeating failed modules at any Supplemental Examination in the first year remain eligible for the prize, though students repeating an entire year are ineligible. The prize is valued at €500 and celebrates students who demonstrate significant academic growth throughout their pharmacy studies.
