The University College Cork (UCC) is located near the town center of Cork, the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland. UCC is one of four constituent universities of the Federal National University of Ireland. The city of Cork was named "The 2005 European Capital of Culture" and is a vibrant center of activity for students and locals. Students are eased into university and local life with the support of UCC's International Education Office's excellent student services.
In the fall, you may enroll in an Early Start Semester option that runs through September, prior to the beginning of the regular semester start. Early Start options include study in Irish history, literature, archeology, folklore & ethnology, music, management & business in the EU, and law.
In addition, the Faculty of Arts at UCC hosts an annual international summer school in Irish Studies. The school investigates questions of Irish identity from the perspective of Irish history, literature, and culture. Learn more about this historic program on Cork's web site and in this year's brochure for the Summer 2009 30th International Summer School in Irish Studies! Note: If you would like to apply to this program, please only apply using the SUNY Cortland study abroad application; do NOT apply online with University College Cork.
