For Parents, Guardians & Supporters

Starting at university is an exciting time for students, their families, guardians, and supporters. It’s a time of transition so support, from you and from us, can be central to their adjustment to university life. UCC has a strong support network for our students while they transition into university life so explore this page to see what our university has to offer.

Our recent information evening for Parents, Guardians & Supporters will be repeated next year. Keep an eye on this page for further updates.

If you missed our information evening you can listen back to our 2023 talks on finance & grants, careers for graduates, and supporting students transitioning to Higher Education. In addition, you will be introduced to UCC's Nurturing Bright Futures programme. Nurturing Bright Futures aims to empower your family member with the skills needed to make decisions about their future and succeed in Higher Education.
