We are looking forward to welcoming thousands of visitors to our campus for our first in-person Open Day since 2019.

Senior cycle students will join us on campus to find out more about studying in UCC, so an exciting and busy Saturday lies ahead!

The event starts at 10am and will finish at 4pm so take the opportunity to come along and talk to our staff and students. To find out more, visit Open Day 2022.

A bright mural will now welcome young patients, families, and staff at Brookfield Health Sciences Complex (BHSC) in University College Cork (UCC) as the University unveiled the large artwork today.

UCC commissioned artist Kevin O’Brien to create the mural inspired by ‘A Bee at UCC’, a book written by JP Quinn, Head of the UCC Visitors' Centre and illustrated by UCC graphic designer Charlie Ruxton.

Unveiling the mural ‘A Bee at Brookfield’, Professor Nicole Müller said: “Combinations of color, lighting, and texture are key to setting the tone for spaces such as patient waiting rooms. The mural has transformed our reception into a warm, bright and welcoming space for our paediatric clients from HSE and South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital (SIVUH)”.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, toys and children’s books had to be removed from the clinic reception which left the waiting rooms less welcoming.

1. Mike Ryan said: “We are seeing signs that things are improving but we know too there are gaps - many people around the world are not protected, there are many systems that are still very weak, we don’t know how this virus will continue to evolve.”
2. Ryan said he is concerned “we have lost capacity to detect that new variant quickly. At the peak of the pandemic while we might have been under huge pressure we were having lots of testing and sequencing. We were detecting new variants quite efficiently and characterising them very well”.

The School of Public Health and UCC Centre for Global Development are delighted to announce that Dr Mike Ryan of the World Health Organisation (WHO) will join us for a Webinar - 'COVID now. What next?'

Our Webinar with Dr Mike Ryan will take place via Zoom between 12.30pm - 2.00pm (Irish Standard Time) on Tuesday 20th September.
