  UCC announces Scholarships for students taking Italian and other languages

The President of University College Cork, Dr Michael Murphy, has announced a €250,000 scholarship scheme which will benefit students who perform well in this year's Leaving Certificate examinations, including those taking Italian and other languages at UCC. The Scholarships are part of a UCC response to reports by the Expert Group on Future Skills Needs, which identify future skills shortages in the Irish Labour Market and highlight the requirement for foreign language skills.

The College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences at UCC will offer scholarships to a number of students with the highest overall Leaving Certificate points who register for two or more foreign language subjects for the duration of their Bachelor of Arts degrees: this may be the three-year BA or the four-year BA Language and Cultural Studies Pathway, the Third Year of which is spent studying at a partner university (entry for both programmes is CK101, with selection for LCS on registration for Second Year). In addition to Italian, students can take French, German, Hispanic Studies and Chinese at UCC.

In the College of Business and Law, students registering on the BComm (International) with Italian [CK207] are amongst those eligible for scholarships.
