Five Trinity College Dublin students received the Bram Stoker Gold Medal at the prestigious Undergraduate Awards (UA), the only pan-discipline international academic awards programme connecting the world’s top students across the sciences, humanities, business, and creative arts.  

Trinity received the highest number of overall awards, with the University of Edinburgh and NUI Galway in second place, and students from Harvard and Princeton also being honoured across the 22 categories.  This year a Trinity student, Shane McEntagart, also had the unique distinction of winning two national awards, in the Languages and Linguistics category, and also in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences category.

Congratulating the students on their success, the Senior Lecturer/Dean of Undergraduate Studies, Dr Patrick Geoghegan said: “This year the competition brought together some of the brightest undergraduate students from around the world.  The extraordinary achievement of our students shows the quality of the Trinity Education in a global context, and is an indication of both the excellence of our students and the inspiring teaching of our staff.  Trinity’s research-inspired curriculum helps students approach the challenges of the twenty-first century with an original and critical mind, and we are fortunate to have dedicated teachers who devote so much time and energy to helping their students reach their potential.”
