UCC Institutional Review 2023

UCC underwent its National Institutional Quality Review (CINNTE) in March 2023, as required by the Qualifications & Quality Assurance Act (Education & Training) (Amendment) Act 2019. This was led by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) to examine the quality and effectiveness of our provision of education, training, research and related services which occurs every seven years. The Institutional Review Process was undertaken by a panel of independent external national and international reviewers who evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of UCC’s institution-wide internal quality assurance and quality enhancement procedures.
