| Overview |
 |
|
University College Cork offers the best of traditional scholarship and cutting-edge technology in a beautiful, friendly city. The people of Cork are notoriously hospitable and talkative, and you'll find that carries over into the welcoming nature of the university. Join one of the more than 100 clubs and societies on campus to meet your fellow students and get a feel for the social life on this campus of 12,000. The university is a great place to study Irish culture, especially in the special Celtic civilization courses developed for visiting students during the fall pre-sessions. Early-start fall semester options include archaeology, literature in Ireland, history and modern Ireland, and Irish ecosystems. Full-year students can earn a certificate in Irish studies.
You'll live in modern student flats in Cork. Since the city spans the River Lee, you'll cross bridges to arrive at the beautiful wooded campus, which boasts restaurants, banks, bars, a sports complex, and outdoor playing fields. Music is a big part of the life of the university, so check out the Irish Traditional Music Society, the UCC choir, orchestra, or choral society, or just enjoy the lunchtime and evening concerts. Certificate Program Option Available! Certificate programs, similar to a minor at Purdue, allow study abroad students to take approximately 15 credits in a specialized subject area and earn an official certificate from the host university. This would be a nice addition to any resume. Certificate in Political Issues in Ireland--During the spring semester only, the University College Cork offers a Certificate in Political Issues in Ireland. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the issues dominating political debates on the island of Ireland and examines the unique political systems of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Modules are designed to inform students about key facets, symbols and emblems associated with the island’s politics. Fieldtrips to Belfast and/or Dublin are included.
