Research-Structured, Supported, Encouraged
UCC is Ireland’s premier research institution and home to a number of major national research institutes and groups. This culture of research and critical thinking is fostered and encouraged among our students. Students engage in research from the beginning of their student years and are given structured teaching in research methodologies and offered a variety of research-based student selected modules. All students do a student research project during their final two years as part of the core curriculum.
Each year, UCC students receive summer undergraduate research scholarships, present at national and international meetings, and publish their research in a variety of peer-reviewed and other publications.
Students also publish their research projects in MRN, a new monthly medical research e-newsletter from the School of Medicine, UCC, Ireland - Medical Research News (MRN)
