Dublin City University has recognised more than 120 undergraduate students for their academic achievement in this year’s Leaving Certificate and A-level exams, including ten from Louth, at the DCU Scholars Awards in The Helix, Glasnevin Campus on Wednesday 29 November.

The students were recognised for achieving more than 600 points in the Leaving Certificate exams, or two A grades and one B in the A-levels. 

DCU President Prof Dáire Keogh said: “This group of scholars, from right across the island of Ireland, represents the extraordinary talent of our young people. They are a credit to their former schools and should be very proud of their achievements.

“We look forward to the future success of these talented students and we commit to supporting their personal and academic development throughout their time at the University.”
