Student Feedback

“Spending a week at the UCC Physics Department has greatly increased my confidence in perusing the Physics course at University College Cork”

“I have learned that physics is fun and can be really useful to apply in real life scenarios”

“After this week I’m certain I’d like to go into a career in STEM, more than likely in physics”

“I used to think that studies in physics was a long and tedious process but since spending the week, I think it's very interesting and an engaging journey”
