Further Education

Whatever your goal may be, the role of the Further Education Transition Support Programme is to help you get there. There will be many challenges along the way, there will be changes of mind, new ideas or realisations or maybe personal circumstances where life gets in the way of your studies.  This programme aims to provide the student with additional support in those circumstances.

Assistive Technology

Assistive technology is any item or technology which assists in the daily life of a person with a disability. This can range from something low-tech such as a coloured overlay for the physical paper to complex software such as screen-readers. UCC have a wide range of assistive technology available to help students who may have a variety of disabilities which can help them during their time at UCC.
