It's not too late: submission deadline for Global Undergraduate Awards 2024 extended to June 14
The Global Undergraduate Awards is an international programme that highlights outstanding essays, theses and projects at undergraduate level from all fields of science.
The aim of the competition is to:
- highlight the outstanding achievements of final year and second year undergraduate students,
- offer an opportunity for networking, and
- showcase their skills globally.
The winners will be offered a trip to the three-day Global Undergraduate Summit in Ireland. The winning entries will be published in the Undergraduate Library database, which is open to all. There is no cash prize.
Last year, University of Helsinki student Netta Karjalainen won the global category in mathematics and physics in the Global Undergraduate Awards competition. Read Karjalainen’s thoughts on taking part in the competition.
