ONE OF President Mary Mcaleese's final functions in the office she held for 14 years was to present a young Swords woman with a prestigious undergraduate award named after one of Ireland's greatest writers. Laura Sinnott from Swords, was named as one of the 23 winners of the Undergraduate Awards, an awards programme open to undergraduate students on the island of Ireland and, recently, the USA.
Laura was awarded the Oscar Wilde Gold Medal for academic excellence by President Mary Mcaleese, at the Undergraduate Awards Ceremony held at Dublin Castle recently. As the winner of the Undergraduate Awards Languages & Linguistics category, Laura was recognised for her essay entitled ' The audio-visual juxtaposition of Günter Grass' Die Blechtrommel'. Having studied German and History at Trinity College Dublin, Laura was also awarded a scholarship to attend the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture after winning the annual essay competition organised by the Irish Austrian Society in Dublin.
In addition to this, the talent Swords student was awarded the 2011 Carr-jackson Prize by the Department of Germanic Studies at Trinity College Dublin for her undergraduate dissertation on Ingeborg Bachmann's Todesarten-zyklus. She is currently working in Vienna and hopes to do research in the area of Germanic Studies.
There were 2,381 submissions to the 2011 Undergraduate Awards programme, of which only 23 winners were selected. Founded in 2008 by two Trinity graduates, Oisin Hanrahan and Paddy Cosgrave, the Undergraduate Awards programme is open to students in their final or penultimate year on a degree course from every third level institution on the island of Ireland as well as a selection of top universities in the UK, Canada and the USA.
